most scientific papers are wrong?

Perhaps, but judging from your complete misunderstanding of Urey and Miller's work (as well as your misrepresentation of their results), your expression of outrage has little credibility with me.Are you certain that you really had the competency to question your superior? Judging from your post of the Urey and Miller experiments, I have reason to doubt your expertise.

Actually, a much smaller sample will suffice if it can be shown that it is a random sample. And well-known statistical methods can be used to give an estimate of how closely represents the whole population.And that is the trick -- to select a truly random sample of the total.

Aw jeez. So now you are an expert in electronics and know more than people actually trained in it?People might take you more seriously if you would take the time to read up on the Urey/Miller experiments and then correct the rather egregious errors you made in a pervious post instead of continuing these claims of what a supergenius you are in all fields.

Of course. Nothing is permanent. All things come to an end. Some day the US will no longer be a superpower; some day the US will no longers exist as a single independent state. That is the nature of all things.
