BS. My MA is in math, which is the BASIS of statistics.

Looks like another professional student to avoid the Vietnam Draft, just
stay in school long enough until they had to give him some kind of degree.



Think of the school. It's not a small school, but Mikey may have made
himself as well known there as he has here. In that case, which would
you rather have? Mike with a degree and gone or Mike hanging around?
He could probably have written a one pager on the use of crayons by
preschoolers and been granted the degree and the goodbye.

If you look at the topic of his PhD dissertation, he did not exactly
push forward the boundaries of human knowledge then, either.

Food taste preferences of different ethnic groups?

Hmm, sounds a bit like Mike was investigating a genetic basis for taste
preferences - an idea dangerously close to eugenics. Still, I guess
that's the favourite pseudoscience of every bigot so I can see why Mike
would find it appealing.

mountain bikers rank near the top. Boot shodden hikers are at the bottom.
The fight isn't about what is, but what people want.



I've been running trails for years and my experience negates yours.
Bikers and runners the least, campers, horses the most. Hikers more
towards the middle.

This fight is about a self proclaimed expert trolling a newsgroup.

That doesn't even make sense. For a PhD, you sure say some stupid things.

Or conversely, for an idiot, he occasionally says something that is
not stupid.

The science doesn't support your belief: http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande/scb7.

Telling relevant truths is not "trolling". You just don't want to admit it.

But who's to say when those two times agree (accidentally coincide) w/
an operating timepiece? Actually, "time" as applied to the data from a
stopped timepiece is a null concept; one may as well be looking at an
Andy Warhol painting of a soup can.
