A friend and I pointed out the error. Jan deleted our comments from his blog post, which is his right. So I don't usually bother reading his blog anymore.
Again, a rather un-sciency thing to do.
Whenever anyone (including one or two people in this thread) says of Heine, "But he's got a PhD!", let's remember that (1) he doesn't share his data, (2) he deletes critiques, and (3) even a lousy scientist can spot the glaring methodological problems in the things he calls "experiments."
None of this means that the whole "planing" is idea incorrect, per se...But to the extent that people take such ideas seriously
because Heine seems all scientifical, well, those folks are kind of being hoodwinked.
