Quotable Quote




It is very difficult to pursue the “scientific method” when the data upon which you must depend has been manipulated for political purposes.— Fletcher

As I reviiew posts here, it seems Fletchers Method is to:
1) Identify problem (attribute cause to Libs)
2) formulate Hypothesis (Libs are all wrong and commies too.)
3) Draw Conclusion
4) provide cherry-picked link to support conclusion. (usually from an alt-right source)

There is step 0 too. Read some alt-right news that defines the problem.

Me thinks you protest too much. None of your critiques (except suggesting a problem) were involved in this blog post.

Actually I agree but data manipulation is more than just politics. You have to extend data collection to accepting outliers as meaningful info and not noise that is distracting from the prescribed path. Scientists have been purging data to make their point for centuries.

Good they didn’t fudge the data about how our first A-Bomb test would go.
