Mackey,
Scientists don't put a hypothesis before evidence.
That is completely contradictory to everything that the scientific process is about.
This thread is not about a hypothesis nor is it necessary to accept any hypothesis in order to accept the north side evidence. The notion is ridiculous.
This is your transparent approach to dodge this issue.
No. You're dodging. Once again, this is what I said:
I'm not talking about "evidence." I'm talking about your hypothesis. I'm not confusing them. You are going out of your way to confuse them.
I'm asking you to explain, even if I accept your evidence, how your hypothesis is even remotely credible.
I went ahead and
emphasized something for you so that you get it this time. I'm
not disputing what a handful of people may have said. I
accept that not all the witness testimony agrees. It never will. And that's fine, it happens all the time. We are finished with the fact-finding phase of the scientific method (for now).
What we do
next, a step you are resisting, is
form a hypothesis.
Now, you've already done that, and that's fine. You are, in fact, selling a hypothesis, namely your whole "North of CITGO flightpath" or whatever it is today. You've
already moved on, yet you're complaining about
me for wanting to consider a hypothesis.
In other words, you're tapdancing.
Now, please, just answer my question and stop with the nonsense. This is the fourth time I'm asking. I'll put it right here, again, so you don't even have to hunt for it:
First, answer my question: Why would They do what you claim They did? The hypothesis you have laid out is utterly counterproductive, and makes no sense.
Now, if you can't or won't answer that, your hypothesis is DOA.
This doesn't mean we throw out facts or evidence. It means we hunt for a new hypothesis. Understand? We only start throwing out facts or looking for new evidence if there is
no hypothesis that makes sense.
So stop the idiocy, claiming I'm "scared" or "pseudoskeptic" or whatever, making up lies about how I haven't viewed this or that. Namecalling won't buy you anything. I've written papers on the scientific method, I know it well, and I'm attempting to follow it with you. Stop distracting. Either work with me on the process, or if you can't, then we all know just how much your ideas are worth.
Finis.
