No Way Jose
Mark Eby — (archived)

DiGregorio is incapanble of making a scientific argument. He has demonstrated that many times here when others attempt to engage him in a technical debate. He always turns it personal as he does in his book. No scientific discussion involves conspiracy theories such as BD puts in his book. His book is a one sided slam against the numerous scientists with access to the same data who reached conclusions different from Levin. BD does not tell their side only Levin's. If you knew been sabout the scientific process there is no way you would consider BD's book a work of science. No scientist I know of does except perhaps Levin and his coworker.

Levin by the way is a sanitation engineer not a microbiologist. Doesn't invalidate his ability to come up with a novel experiment or do research, but does indicate his breadth of knowledge may not be as broad as others who have reviewed the data. He has published work with notable failures in understanding of mass transport with regard to water on the Marian surface. This is only the most recent demonstration of his misunderstanding of science outside his field.

Mark
