re: #181 allegro
This. Over the years I’ve been asked for my thoughts on AGW (beyond those in my field) and other issues for support or non-support. My stock answer is:
1. I have not seen all of the data.
2. If I had seen the data, it is not my field of expertise so my conclusions are not trust-worthy.
3. At this point I accept the conclusions of the majority of experts in that field. And so should you.
this is very good
personally i avoid using “majority” or my pet peeve re agw, “vast majority”, because that starts to move into argument by popularity territory
im very comfortable with “the experts in that field”.
