Posted By: E-ManHa! Did you google translate that? The closest thing I have to an understanding to Spanish is the Quebecois which every Canadian is genetically gifted with.
Posted By: alsetalokinExcuse me.... I have been working on my gravitas, and I have to tell you, it's a grave affliction. It's very difficult not to take oneself seriously.Dim sum is no good with gravitas, it only makes your sum dim.
But that's the problem, isn't it? Sort of like a five-star Chinese take-out. One from Column One, three from Column Two, some dim sum and boiled rice.... it's all good stuff, but somehow doesn't leave you quite satisfied. Volume, but little substance. Broth, quite salty but with no meat. Tastes great, less filling. But in order to get to the delicious bits, you still have to eat the whole thing.

It will make it much easier to skip his posts.Please be hospitable. It is not all that easy to find someone like Abd. He is willing to argue that dowsing rods and homeopathy have value. That's rare in uncensored fora. forumorums? foramina?

Posted By: AngusI thought gravitas was a sort of Yiddish smoked salmon thingie you can get at the Deli?

Posted By: AngusWorth mentioning that harmful objects are even more effective symbols than harmless ones. Wave a gun around and everybody does what you say.
Posted By: alsetalokinPosted By: Abd(snip)... cold fusion experimental results are created by wishful thinking.Results, and their interpretations, are different. Interpretations are a lot more susceptible to wishful thinking.
"What's the probability that the data are true, given the hypothesis" is very different question from "What's the probability that the hypothesis is true, given the data."
Posted By: alsetalokinIs it possible to reconcile your last paragraph with religious faith?Yes. God is Reality and Reality is God. ("Allah Haqq") By the way, I'm not asserting that Reality is visible, indeed, it's Unseen (ghayb), and "faith" is trust in the Unseen, that's in the first words of the Qur'an, the Qur'an is specifically for those who trust in the unseen. (alladhiyna yuwminuwna bi l-ghayb.)
