Apart from some obsessives who like SoD are geeky enough to get into the maths and have driven long blog posts and discussions about back radiation.<br /><br />One can hope that exposure to the more typical denier who jumped on that thread might enable him to have a better grasp of just how the denial sphere operates. Perhaps the response of those took him to task for trying to police people's language will cause him to reconsider.<br /><br />However I think that this recent excursion by SoD into the non-science aspects of the issue reveal that he is a maths geek who because HE can grasp how the formulas and calculus validate the science, anybody who cannot match his maths grasp does not understand it. <br />It's the tendency to think that because you have a hammer and know how to use it it is the only tool that can do the job and anyone NOT using it is doing it wrong.Izenhttp://izenmeme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
