Because I would consider your actions to be a textbook case of "Here's my conclusion, what evidence can I cherry-pick to rationalize it?"<BR/><BR/>Exactly the practice you claim to be fighting, in other words.<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, I just recently posted a <A HREF="http://consultingbyrpm.com/blog/2008/11/michael-crichton-1942-2008.html?showComment=1226208540000#c2656636272537506325" REL="nofollow">parody</A> on Bob's blog about what it would look like if he applied the same rigorous standards to himself when critiquing Ritalin overprescirption, as he does when defending his inalienable right to pollute with impunity.<BR/><BR/>That said, I think you make a good point ... but your actions still give Robin_Hanson tremendous support. Actually, I think I'll point him to your history on this, as he might be interested.<BR/><BR/>****<BR/><BR/>P.S.: I shouldn't have to add this, but Bob's repeated strawmanning has forced me to: My objections to Bob's work on global warming is <B>not</B> simply that he doesn't mention a few caveats about ideal situations, as he repeatedly claims. That's the tip of the tip [sic] of the iceberg, and I consider it tangential to the real issues, like why Bob feels fine saying that higher prices resulting from carbon caps don't reflect scarcity, even once you accept the IPCC's conclusions.Silas Bartahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480427306873460464noreply@blogger.com
