Names of places in Croatia

[FlatAssembler]

I think it is obvious who is really being more scientific: is it me or is it the proponents of the mainstream interpretation of the names of places in Croatia. Proponents of the mainstream interpretation of the names of places in Croatia claim that that k-r pattern in the Croatian river names is a coincidence without even attempting to calculate the p-value. I have made an experiment which suggests that the p-value is somewhere between 1/300 and 1/17. Even if my experiment is flawed, I am still being more scientific than the proponents of the mainstream interpretation of the Croatian names of places.

And yet you won’t even consider suggestion to modify your ‘experiment’. Refusal to admit even the potential of error isn’t science, it’s hidebound dogmatism.

I don't think I am being "dogmatic". I don't think Semmelweis was being dogmatic when he refused to listen to the Levy's suggestion "Why not perform a simpler and more convincing experiment, to simply stop all the autopsies?". In fact, I don't think Levy could be described as "dogmatic" either, I think Levy was a positivist, and positivism rejects seemingly-magical explanations (such as the Semmelweis'es theory of cadaverous particles in blood causing death). If anybody, Benjamin Rush was being dogmatic.
