Science: True vs Pseudo - nPeace vs sayak83

sayak83 said:

I believe discussions are pointless unless it is in the context of specific pieces of research investigations or specific questions. You may choose any research question that you find suspect and we can look at whether the scientific conclusions hold up to scrutiny or not. After all, my expertise is in understanding science as it is actually practiced and not in philosophical speculations about its nature.

Resuming the discussion.
We can of course debate the soundness and validity of the methods and conclusions that were made in the scientific paper. I am saying that the discussion will be more fruitful if we look at a specific scientific paper in evolutionary biology and see what it is actually doing and saying. A general discussion without any examples to look at or analyse is too vague and hand-wavy imo.

I'm quite certain I did this... but what did you do?


Yes. I did give an example, and yes you did wave your hand... actually more like two.

Would you like me to start again?
Okay.
Please show me the papers to support this.
