Strawman much? You have presented no scientific argument. You've presented a survey of biased evangelists with a lot is self interest.

That's not science. It's a propaganda technique. And it your surety is proof that it works! You've been had...

Mike, Rob,

Sounds like you guys have been busy doing good things for the cause.

I would like to weigh in on two important questions --

Distribution for Endorsements --
I am very strongly in favor of as wide and rapid a distribution as possible for endorsements. I think the only thing that counts is numbers. The media is going to say "1000 scientists signed" or "1500 signed". No one is going to check if it is 600 with PhDs versus 2000 without. They will mention the prominent ones, but that is a different story.

Conclusion -- Forget the screening, forget asking them about their last publication (most will ignore you.) Get those names

Yes...you're right. The worlds foremost scientific experts "evangelists".

Its ok though. If I had just been owned as fricking hard as you with the "appeal to authority" post I'd be grasping at straws too. Its ok, you dont have to try to save face...the rest of the mouth-breathers here eagerly await your next post chocked full of fancy latin debate lingo. It appeals to their need to feel smart. Use Reductio ad Absurdum next!!!! They fricking love that one!
