Well “banned” is the first word in the title.

You accuse me of contradicting the community rules AND whining. I detect a pattern in your screed. Are you a bot?

Yeah I got a little bitchy towards the end. I admit it. But if you saw the onslaught of bullshit I was subjected to you’d be impressed at my fortitude. And it was only when I started pushing back that I got banned. So fuck those guys.

I don’t find your arguments compelling. Sorry. But my actual point remains. The question, what are the strengths and weaknesses of science? If you have a better one then say it. And if you don’t then say “science is perfect and invincible” or something.

Really, you see an error but you don’t want to tell me what it is. Well that doesn’t sound suspicious at all.

The fact that science can be done in groups gives us peer review. Peer review is an important part of science.

The fact that science relies on models gives us the loss of fidelity that occurs when observation is translated into model.

Correct me if I’m wrong but that doesn’t sound nonsensical.

You aren’t telling me what this error that you found is.

Well I was banned, post removed and all replies deleted. Does that count as mod action?

I checked just in case I was suffering a stroke.

Nope, it’s pretty right on with the classical definition.

But if you see an error then please point it out.

Those were examples of a strength and a weakness, as examples of what I was looking for, to clarify the question.

Yes.

A method for crafting models characterized by a strong adherence to observation and use of peer-review.

Ooh, cryptic. Don’t just speak plainly now.

What claim? It was a question. You know what a question is, right?

The biggest, eh? Ok, what is another, lesser, weakness of science then?

I elaborated, explained and underlined several times in this thread and now I’m tired. If my simple point really eludes you so thoroughly then skim the thread.

Are you intentionally evading my point or are you just that oblivious?

Gee thanks.

You people seem to be incapable of analyzing the thing. You can only embrace or reject. It’s a strange attitude and I don’t relate.

I think that most of us just want to have a nice conversation.

You “I want to run a community” guys can jump in a lake.

There is a loss of resolution between observation and model. Banana is replaced by the word “banana”. The map is not the territory. Etc.

That’s why I call science’s use of models a weakness.

No it’s because it’s a system that lends itself to centralized control. Like I said.
