The science of opinion ...

Has "The Amazing Randy" resurfaced? I get so excited when someone says: "Trust me", it's so presidential, it must be true.

This Ethan person undoubtedly has a very powerful personality.

Look at this thread. Almost everybody has some opinion, mostly negative and very strong, about him.

If he were really worthless and unimportant, wouldn't you just shrug your shoulders and laugh him off?

I had never heard of that man nor am I understanding why some of you think he is participating in this thread.

I'm not at all denying that readers of scientific psychobabble aren't necessary. I believe quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. If it weren't for these guys, we wouldn't have trains that run on time, planes flying near the speed of sound at 35,000 feet taking us across the country in under five hours. We wouldn't have satellites, cell phones, big-screen TVs or traffic control without them. My point is ... I couldn't care less HOW these things work, only that they do. I certainly don't want to read white papers on the technicalities, or minutia until my eyeballs glaze over either. I'd rather have a bird fly up my nose. :-)

Now then, back to the record vault.

And yet here you are .. on a thread about the science of opinion.

Rule no. 1 Never get involved in a thread about science with English majors and retired car salesmen.
