Harvard Researcher May Have Fabricated Data

First of all, Percy, that avatar creeps me out everytime I look at it. Could you please use something else less horrifying?Any idea who blew the whistle on this one?

(1) Did the scientific community spend hundreds of millions of dollars to cover these up like the catholic church?(2) His own students turned him in. Can you say the same about those priests and the catholic church?(3) What about all those miracle healers like Peter Popoff?That's right, it took a gay atheist skeptic to expose this fraud instead of you hollier than thou religionists. How do you explain that?(4) This is a classic example of science's self-correcting nature. It is impossible for any researcher to commit fraud without somebody blowing the whistle. In this case, his own students did before any other researchers tried to replicate his experiments. And even if they hadn't, eventually people who couldn't replicate the results of his experiments would have called him on it.Can the same thing be said about the faith healers?

Oh, please do tell us who this person was.

I don't mean to say this right after he's suspended, but I really need to bring this to people's attention.In message 23, archaeologist said...

I never edited that message. So, archaeologist is saying outright that I tried to lie, which I did not.This is dishonesty on archaeologist's part. Edited by Taz, : No reason given.
