[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6275674, member: 6750039"] Umbran already covered this but, hey, I gotsta gets me mines, right?! This is a Strawman. I never said that people shouldn't look for themselves. Nothing I said indicated that people couldn't learn analysis - in fact, what I said clearly points to the opposite. If some people learn it, more can, right? So what's stopping them? Oh yeah, nothing. So, in other words, don't selectively quote someone and respond with your immediate reaction instead of looking deeper at the presented text? It's ... interesting you'd say that. :p Umm ... if the results cannot be replicated in a controlled environment but folks swear that they do happen, well, if you choose to look at what folks say and also dismiss what happens in a controlled environment, what you're doing is cherry picking the results you like best. You've got a data set of sorts here - happens X times outside of lab + happens 0 times inside of lab. You're choosing to only accept the first part of the set. And I feel a little dirty adding the 'it happens cuz people say it does' to the data set thing I mentioned. Please, nobody take it as an endorsement of anecdotal evidence. [/QUOTE]
