You are not a scientist, you are an engineer or skeptic artist, so I think you are on a different thought basis.
You'll soon find that I'm certainly not an engineer or a skeptic artist (whatever that is). It's more than ten years ago I made my first grand theory and was dispensed for a Danish university - only to study philosophy of science due to my theories. Before that I studied philosophy at three diffrent schools.
You see, I don't believe status quo science, in fact, I never have. If a scientist is someone who blindly believes the active theories as presented (and it indeed is in most cases), then you're right: I'm not a scientist, and nor would I like to be called as such.
In the second grade of elementary school my teachers used to call me "The philosopher". Maybe that's the most accurate desciption if one should choose, but I prefer: Thomas. These days I'm working on a doctor thesis concerning evolutionary algorithms.
My interest is to keep you informed of what is going on. I hope you understand why
I decided to keep some information incomplete. My honor and reputation have been
put under doubt world wide and I have to keep certain information under my control.
For natural reasons, I wouldn't know why you hold back information before I know what that information actually is. I think I should add to this; that I personally only hold back information if I know it's incomplete.
As for your honor and reputation, I think you brought this on yourself when you published a theory as conclusive before it had been tested. You should've known what you were up against; believers don't hesitate to discredit their opposition if they have the slightest opportunity.
This is not only a forum debate, it is my future reputation as an honest investigator.
I will fight against a huge monopoly that protects Maussan. I am lonely defending
myself against a mega-monster media power.
Maybe you don't know or can't imagine what I am facing now.
My approach would have been diffrent, but then again, I don't know much about your actual situation - I can only guess.
I know that Maussan is a very popular man in Mexico, and that many of his findings are rather hazy.
It looks to me like a major goal of yours, is to get to Maussan as you consider him a promoter of pseudoscience. However, even if you succed with this, you will still have failed, because the problem is not really with Maussan, but with the Mexican culture. Miracles and paranormal events is an integrated part of your culture through your extremely strong devotion to Catholicism.
The many religious people of Mexico needs additional "miracles" to justify this devotion. It basically goes like this:
"If this-and-that paranormal phenomenon is true, then why shouldn't the miracles of God be true as well?".
There you have it. That's why Mexico is a record holder concerning paranormal sightings and ideas. You will see the same phenomenon in other strongly religious cultures, because when modern science discredit religious ideas, religion has to discredit science - or expose it as more incomplete than it actually is.
Discredit and ruin Maussan and you have achieved nothing but created room for a new Maussan. The root of paranormal ideas is - in most cases - religion, cut off a branch; and a new will grow elsewhere.
Religion and uncertainty is your "mega-monster", the media just feed the hungry crowd.
Let's return to the topic of this thread:
I wish you best of luck with the recontruction flight, and are looking very much forward to see the results.
