Let's see, RWP is an actual working scientist who actually produces science results and publishes them.
And you are?
But somehow he should be ashamed???
One of my favorite conservative authors is Thomas Sowell. And Dr. Sowell's central point quite often is that our society is easily divided into those who produce things of value and those who criticise them for doing it, but produce nothing. It's a fair definition of why many are conservative... we actually produce.
It's pretty clear what RWP produces in science.
It's pretty clear that you can criticize. Now, what do you produce??
He prodices unfounded criticism.
"Let's see, RWP is an actual working scientist who actually produces science results and publishes them."
So RWP and others who derive their income from "producing science results" have more to loose than just a debate.
