Allen: So far, no one has addressed the real issue.
Did I misquote the author?
Did I quote out of context?
Did I misrepresent the what the author meant?
NO!
So, to say Anti-Evolutionists continually misquote, misrepresent or take
things out of context is a lie.
All that has happened so far is that the issue is ignored and the topic
changed. Or the issue is ignored and character flaws are noted.
HVT: Here's the issue as I see it.
1. The scientist cited was displaying exemplary professional integrity and
candor. He should have been commended.
2. He noted that the the credibility of particular outcomes of measurement
and interpretation was dependent on the sample meeting clearly specified
criteria.
3. Given this state of affairs, it is imperative that every conceivable
cross-check be done to discern whether or not those criteria were met by any
individual sample. The quoted material made that clear.
4. Science has no interest in performing meaningless measurements or
propagating fictitious interpretations. Time, energy and resources are too
valuable to waste on some ridiculous game of conspiracy or deception.
5. This attitude minimizes the generation of nonsense and stuff that belongs
in a crock.
