LashL,
<snip>NOBODY was able to "apply proper research parameters" to any of those buildings. Period and they never will be able to do so.
Have you been drinking or something, or are you being deliberately obtuse and trying to obfuscate?
Our exchange was not about the research parameters of the building collapses at all (nor about the other stuff you are spouting off about in this particular post), but about the research parameters of viewing someone's testimony in its entirety instead of cherry picking it.
It was about context and perspective in your references to Mr. Bartmer's evidence. Remember?
Now, you're talking about something entirely different and trying to pretend that that was actually what we were talking about? Bizarre.
Quoting papers as you do generated under these circumstances does not even come close to scientific methodology.
Huh? What papers are you talking about? We were discussing the fact that you ignored the vast majority of what Craig Bartmer said in his interview, and by doing so, you deliberately ignored the importance of context and perspective. I didn't quote any paper whatsoever.
Eyewitness accounts are muddled by time, motive and emotion.
Of course they are. Especially the ones that get better with time. Your point?
So just drop the pretense and the psuedo-science.
I'm not engaging in any pretense or pseudo-science. I ask again, have you been drinking or something?
You are asking us Cters for something you yourself don't have and never will.
I haven't asked you for anything except honesty and a proper approach to someone's evidence. You seem to have a problem with that. I said that it is important to look at a person's complete testimony rather than just the few words that you happen to like.
I didn't ask you for something that I myself don't have and never will. I approach the evidence of every single witness I encounter in the same way - I look at the entirety of their evidence, not just the words that serve my client's purposes; indeed it would be a foolish person indeed who ignored the words that do NOT serve the client's purposes.
I have no idea what the hell you're on about.
I seem to be the only one between the two of us who is actually awake and functioning properly, based on this screed of yours.
You are believers in a non conspiracy cherry picking just as much as a CTer.
Oh, is this another example of your responding specifically to my post and then later saying that you were responding "generically" and apologizing for getting it wrong? One would think that you could avoid making the same mistake twice over the course of a few hours.
But you have the title of skeptic. That is it - two beliefs with different titles and diametrically opposed conclusions.
No, there's a difference between "beliefs" and facts & evidence. A very big, very important difference. Which seems to be escaping you entirely.
Now all anybody has is circumstantial evidence.
Really? Please elaborate.
Quit fooling yourselves. Quit insulting others in the process.
Stop being such a drama queen. I'm not fooling myself and I haven't insulted anyone, and your behaviour is seriously harming the persona you wish to present as a serious "researcher". You're sounding, frankly, a bit deranged at the moment, with this strange screed of yours. I have no idea what you think I'm "fooling myself" about and I have no idea what you are referring to when you claim that I have insulted others in the process, but I'm sure, as the serious researcher that you are, you will provide specifics of both. I'll wait.
Stop and wonder what if you are wrong - what then?
Wrong about what? The facts and evidence are what they are. If additional facts and evidence come to light and lead to another conclusion, that's perfectly fine with me.
