re: #208 SixDegrees

Every last one of you little denialists - and in particular you six

Fuck off, asshole. I’ve never denied anything, and if you would turn off your rage and hate for a few seconds at a time you might have noticed that. In fact, I’ve been extremely careful not to profess a preference for either side on this issue because both sides are populated with alarming number of flaming, overwrought twits

Sorry, I am not a fan of this false equivalency. One side has no science, the other does. If you hate Ludwig, fine, but it has nothing to do with the science. There is zero equivalency. There are scientists on one side, and craven charlatans on the other. That scientists don’t always use best practices doesn’t mean the science is wrong. Bad code doesn’t mean bad science. I could walk down the aisles of a Gamestop and point out all the games ont he shelf that are riddled with awful, broken code that are selling like hotcakes.

If we’re waiting for all scientists to be perfect people with perfect practices before accepting their conclusions, it won’t ever happen.
