- John "Doomed to Spew Nonsense" McCarthy sez:

- >> It is lawyers' science . . .

- =\= One could, following this "logic," dismiss the entire
- life's work of Petr Beckmann (one of John McCarthy's fave
- rave authors). I think there's a double standard at work.

- =\= I suspect that such would be a waste of time, postage, and
- trees. In September 1991 I posted a report by Joe Thornton to
- this forum, containing the very information that made its way
- into the book. John McCarthy apparently hasn't bothered to
- address the points made in that report, and I doubt he would
- do so now, except to make some kind of knee-jerk generalization
- about the awfulness of environmentalists.
