re: #301 Shiplord Kirel: Fan of Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie

Looking over Oz’s wikipedia entry I think he is a textbook example of someone skilled in a particular field (heart surgeon in his case) where they seem to think that expertise automatically transits over into other fields. Which is certainly not the case. It looks like his attraction to alternate medicine woo and the media spotlight goes back to the 1990s. So what you see is what he has been doing for 30 years.

And he only backs away from saying something wrong and stupid after getting a pile of flak. (And probably issuing some sort of fake not-pology.)
