Quote:Which, btw, is what you do.I disagree.
Quote:actually know anything about them they are committed skepticsI do know about them. I don't doubt their skepticism, only their level of validity. I would take a lot of things as good information long before the Idiot Box.
If you are saying that 'the mythbusters did a show on the moon landings, so problem solved' then I think that is a weak argument. There is much stronger science, and better ideas when you look other places than mindless entertainment.
Quote:and do their bests to present the facts in their entirety.Except for the conflict of interest. They have a job to do, and it does not involve science. It involves money, TV and ratings, all of which push a strong agenda. If their bosses tell them not to present the facts in their entirety, they have no recourse.
All in all, like always I am trying to make a small point. The mythbusters is not a good source for the science you base your beliefs on. If you think it is, so be it.
Thank you,
