I was unaware of his comments about your writing when scheduling. I look forward to meeting you over coming weeks.<BR/>RRichard Hawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04263685623672927660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-33314329284943706452008-09-04T19:10:00.000-07:002008-09-04T19:10:00.000-07:00Criticism is, at best, revealing, at worst, subtle...Criticism is, at best, revealing, at worst, subtle publicity for the criticized.<BR/><BR/>This long lasting overly talked debate has reminded me a scientific posture which we, as scientists should try to prevail. Enclosed in this Aphorism:<BR/><BR/>"The scientist know quite well when there isn't real science present; but Damn it! Not so well when there is."<BR/><BR/>-Jorge Wagensberg; Si la naturaleza es la respuesta, ¿Cuál era la pregunta?<BR/><BR/>We should, of course, defend the science behind this debate, but we should also acknowledge that these pseudo-scientific arguments might also be an opportunity to close the gap between actual scientific communication and perception and actual science perception. I am barely a Chemistry teacher, but I can see that teaching and communication should start being studied /scientifically) towards increasing the correct perception among scholars and, ultimately, the general public.<BR/><BR/>My two cents (sorry, pence).<BR/><BR/>A.V.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587571276908545412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26741618.post-76207779002640603372008-09-04T14:51:00.000-07:002008-09-04T14:51:00.000-07:00It's nice to see that you're still dining out on a...It's nice to see that you're still dining out on a criticism that Fuller made of you three years ago, but before blindly trusting AC Grayling's judgement on Fuller's latest, you might want consider that he also wrote a very strong review of one of Fuller's previous books in the Financial Times.Roger Juansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751464174613494427noreply@blogger.com
