And here I was thinking I’m submitting a manuscript for publication in Science, my mistake.
I’m beginning to understand the reason for your poor understanding of scientific principles - if you want to understand science, stop paying attention to Dude!
Dude has no concept of cause and effect - he is easily convinced if someone throws a bunch of numbers at him and make it seem sciency. Example:
Ownership of a Lexus LS460 is statistically significantly associated with lower infant mortality.
You and your Dude must think about cause and effect to grasp the reality.
