Quote:How many deckies get research grants
Did Walter say he got a research grant? His bio seems deliberately vague on whether he got it or whether someone else did and it just funded his salary for a while.
Quote:or have Phd's for that matter?
Would that be the PhD in interpretive dance? I've met a taxi driver with a PhD. He thought he was an expert on everything. Come to think of it, his name was Walter. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
Quote:By definition to be a Phd you must have published some research.
Not true, except that you have to 'publish' your PhD thesis, which can easily seat in the library of your univerity, never to be opened again. By the way, do you know which university (if any) awarded his PhD? It is obviously seen as a good thing if you published along the way, but it is hardly necessary.
Quote:It's understandable he doesn't give a list demonstrating each paper or project - it just wouldn't read well.
All other scientists do. It doesn't have to read well. He wouldn't have to put in in the middle of that absurd piece of self promotion. Just a link would suffice, if he wanted people to take him seriously.
Quote:His bio mentions other achievement, do you really want me to post them all here bit by bit?
No thanks. I am really only interested in his scientific work. Though if that turns out to be a fraud, it would be interesting to chase up the other claims also. But let's stick to the relevant bits for the moment.
Quote:If he was a fraud he would have been found out by now.
Don't be so naive PJ. The internet is full of frauds like that. It is also full of people who want to believe so desperately that they will ignore the obvious gaps, and will tell you it is genuine even though they wouldn't know the difference. There are no 'fraud police' who go round taking their sites down. It is up to people like you to think for yourself before putting them on a pedestal. That's just how it works.
Quote:If you want to back up your snide inuendo why don't you email him and ask what he has published and where then check with all the journals?
I have emailed him before and asked him to back up his claims. I got no response - not even a form letter. Any genuine scientist would make the effort to give people the info necessary to chase it up themselves rather than emailing the author. And besides, you are the one who claimed he had more experience than the genuine scientists he is criticising. Doesn't that put the obligation on you to back it up? Or is this one of those games where you rattle off claim after claim and it is up to everyone else to prove you wrong?
