Assuming you mean Futrelle then I expect one might argue he plays a little fast and loose with the truth at times, although I would be interested in seeing any specifics if you have them.

Somewhat apropos is this comment from David Futrelle on his blog Man Boobz : For some reason, many of the people who most hate this blog-- many of whom have never read it -- arenâ€™t satisfied with criticizing me for what I do and who I am; they find it necessary to make up many new and horrible an...

That's been my read on the actual science of it, at least the parts i've read. Now, there's a lot of people using EP to justify some really stupid shit, but then again, people did that with evolution as well. And physics, chemistry, etc. If you're going to go Cunt's route and dismiss an area of sci...

So, basically, evo-psych and its nay nays are in a fight. I don't know a lot about evo-psych -- not even sure if I understand it.

Tribble: my elementary scholl comment wasn't addressed at you, but rather at Cunt's cheap shot at Mykeru's marital life. No. My bad edit. I was only going to write up the history of the atom from Rutherford. Then I said fuck it and went full Monty. But I forgot to change 'hundred' to 'thousands.'

Fuck me, bad edit.

I'd forgotten about that. This is the piece of hard science that was commissioned by Manchester Arndale shopping centre and the slymepit defends only because Watson says its shit.

The funny thing about Myers is that when it suits him, he's pro EvoPsych: â€¦it is in the manâ€™s reproductive interests to have his genes propagated in any one pregnancy, while it is in the womanâ€™s reproductive interests to bail out and try again if conditions arenâ€™t optimal for any one pregnan...

Dawkins has a nasty habit of saying stupid crap without really thinking through how its going to sound to the reader. That's it. It doesn't make him a misogynist or a racist or a bigot.

For those following the David Dobbs debacle, both Dawkins and Coyne have fired back. It's a pretty pitiable affair, like some hapless drug smuggling ship being blown apart by two destroyers.

This misses the point. According to your example, 619nm is not red, but 620 is. And hundred nm more, 720 is still red, but one less from 620 is not red? There is no categorical boundary there. Qualifier, an important tool in the English language, was (apparently) missed or ignored: approximately
