New Post: "I Do Listen to the Experts. Do YOU?"

[asteckley]

Your assumption that I asked it in order to denigrate Rich is wrong, as is your assumption that I asked it as part of advancing the authenticity cause.  .

I don't assume that you in particular have any intent to denigrate Rich, but as you yourself observed "this thread has a strong adversarial current", and that does seem to be the only explanation for some of the impeded logic in some people's comments in the thread. I apologize if I swept you into a comment that only applied to others.

I had also said "I just honestly can't conceive of how to break the logic down any further to make it easier to comprehend" but, in fact I think I did manage a much better explanation in a later comment. And Rich further improved it in both clarity and succinctness. So you might prefer those explanations; they deal much more directly with just your question of falsifiability.
