As promised, Deep Scientific Analysis of Most Frequent Current Events Thread Starters

Perhaps you ought to take account of the number of views as well.

Very good point. Another is that just because there are lots of responses doesn't mean the OP in and of itself is interesting. How do you account for the numerous threads that inevitably veer off topic into a verbal MMA? When Bitchou and PPM go at each other on a particular thread does that mean the thread itself is of interest to a broad set of observers?

As I said, how do you control for bias?
 
I am a man of science and when I see it, I applaud it. This was science? OK smarty pants, what was the null hypothesis?

I was joking. I didn't even read the thread.

That said, I tend to doubt your claim to be "a man of science." Unless you completely buck the trend amongst southern conservative Christians, that is...

then maybe you should rethink your Carl Sagan quote. It would appear that you have a bias that anyone who is a southern conservative christian cannot believe in science. Now, if we want to further delve into the scientific method in this thread, we could start with the title and then follow up with its first statement as the two are incongruent. But, hey what the fuck do I know. I am a southern conservative Christian ;)
 
Then by definition it isn't science. Or you don't understand science. There is always bias in science. Maybe you don't understand the term bias as it relates to science?
 
How did you control for the replies that we're just bitch fights and off topic?

bitch fights are still interesting, or they wouldn't happen. Drama and long threads is always the best. If there are replies, they always 100% gauge the readers interest.
