The evolution of planets and solar systems...etc..

I got bored today do deided to hunt down the quote The quote originally comes from this siteAccretion hypothesis - creation.comThe full phrase which is bounded by quotation marks is 50 refers to the reference the quote is obtained from. Reference 50 is given as Edelson, ref. 44, p. 12. Reference 44 is given as Edelson, E., Astrochemistry comes of age, Mosaic 10(1):9—14, 1979; p. 13.So I found the full reference 44 online,ForbiddenOn page 12 it says [qs]The general model requires
some mechanism to trigger a cloud's
collapse: a supernova explosion, a shock
wave from the galaxy's spiral arms, cloud
collisions or stellar winds. Why clouds
don't collapse on their own, muses
Scoville, is still "a great mystery."Scoville is Nicholas Scoville of University of Massachusetts. There is no reference given for this quote from Scoville in Edelson's article. Edelson was a science journalist in the1970s.I haven't checked out any of the other quotes which contain ellipses cos I'm no longer bored, but it passed an entertaining 10 minutes.

It's not that it removes the identity which is important, it's the fact that it removes the word "muses". On face value the chap sitting having a think to himself is not hard evidence based on data. While he may be using hard evidence to come to this conclusion, we have no idea what that evidence is. No support is provided by him nor the author, no reference, nothing.Are we to accept what he says based on who he is? That's really all we have to go on. The removal of "muses Scoville" changes the quote so that it can be presented as some sort of evidence when is not.
