What is an “ad hominem fallacy”? I asked my English wife who also happens to be a scientific editor, but she didn’t know.

Firstly, I must say that I find that accusing someone of following scripts, and therefore refuse to answer questions sounds like a very non-scientific attitude to me. If my questions, or those of someone else, are so common, there must surely exist ready-made answers somewhere, in an easily digestible form?

Or must I go to the web site you refer to, the one I found fairly confusing, and read everything I can find there before I am worthy of an answer? From Amazon I gather that it is around 200 pages worth of material.

Secondly, to refuse to answer specific questions because of perceived slight seems contrary to scientific best practices.

Both of these attitudes would lead to a failed PhD at my alma mater.

alethalpunk: you ask good questions. I would give you karma if I had reached my 50 posts.
