i.e. you Willis Eschenbach is incredulous that the uncertainty ranges are correct.
...and you agree with this "citizen scientist's" critique, because...your BS detector didn't go off?
Perhaps you can find a peer reviewed article from 1955 that confirms your belief. or alternatively just look at the modelled data to find out.
So what technology did they have for 2000m below sea surface temperatures back then? Submarine sensors in the engine room pipes?
BTW - BT's had a depth range of about 295m and XBT's, which came before Argo buoys and were still used up to 2013, had a depth range of between 460m and 1830m. So no 2000m data there.
Also BTW -

Willis Eschenbach has "no credentials in any scientific field".
Quoting Desmogblog? A blog? as a source?

But perhaps that is why he has written for Nature among others.
