Re: Marvellous!

Just tell them to put their money where their mouth is and put up someone to
debate so we can see publicly who is making the blunders.
It seems to me that Mr McKay has just done a slight of hand to avoid having to actually face dealing with a reasoned out debate rather than a short sound bite on television wherein he can run out a constant barrage of questions rather than deal in detail with answers that require deep thought.
SO, if Mr McKay is clearly not using the medium of TV in order to further his own agendas of fame and ego driven banter, perhaps he might find the time to stop avoiding such sites as this one in order to deal with the real issues and see if he can avoid falling flat on his ass.
I challenge him in return to attempt a real debate here in front of the audience we have at our disposal as well.
My bet is that he does not have the cajones for such.
Edited by sidelined, : No reason given.

"Good displays of data help to reveal knowledge relevant to understanding mechanism, process and dynamics, cause and effect." We see the unthinkable and think the unseeable. "Visual representations of evidence should be governed by principles of reasoning about quantitative evidence. Clear and precise seeing becomes as one with clear and precise thinking."
