Confusing Cause & Effect Again
Mark Eby — (archived)

Barry,

You accused Zubrin of taking an action based on book sales. This is false and you didn't have the integrity to admit it. Then you accuse me of of smearing you for pointing out your dishonesty. It is precisely action such as that when cause me to question your honesty and motivations.

On the other hand I have never been able to decide whether your primary motivation is publicity seeking/improving book sales or irrational fear. If you were only seeking pubicity on a rational make money for Barry basis I would expect your arguments to be more rational and be less self contradictory. Your arguments sound more like someone with a phobia who is too scared to weigh risks and scenarios rationally.

Case in point:

How in the hell can you claim Clark as a source when he claims that meteorites provide insufficient protection from space radiation then turn around and support Chandra's claim that no protection is needed? These are mutually contradictory claims yet you use both to support your claims. This is one of the primary reasons I think you are a psuedoscientist not a real scientist. No real scientist would ever make a claim based on such contradictory foundations.

Your one sided support of Levin is the other reason. Supporting Levin wouldn't be so bad if you didn't invoke conspiracy theories to explain why his conclusions are rejected. Real scientists have real differences of opinions, but they don't invoke conspiracies to explain rejection of their work.

Regards,
Mark
