Science-Based Medicine on Dana Ullman

[Mojo]

In case anyone hasn't seen it, there's a splendid take down of Dana Ullman (aka JamesGully) on the Science-Based Medicine blog.

Just to say, that I don't think 71 views (as of this posting) and no replies is a vote of no confidence on the subject of this thread. It's always funny to see DUllman's super-powers fade under critical scrutiny.

Sorry for the bump but Dana is not worth another thread

A certain Chandran Nambiar runs a blog called Dialectical Homeopathy

He criticises Ullman for basically not being very scientific, and this is a first for me, seeing one homeopath argue against another.

But then it gets better when Dana appears and immediately thinks that Nambiar must be a skeptic and accuses him of being a follower of James Randi.

Pretty funny. Homeopath correctly identifies DUllman's modus operandi, which consists of repeating whatever one-tenth plausible idea has recently come to his attention while obtusely refusing to acknowledge its incompatibility with any preceding ideas.

I've not read any more of Chandran Nambiar's website, but I assume he has fixated completely on one of these one-tenth plausible ideas and sees DUllman's approach as being incompatible with his.
