    Comparative Listening Tests

    I understand to a large extent the degree of junk science which exists since I deal with it on a daily basis in my livelihood. As I think you readily acknowledge, however, none of that invalidates the scientific method, to state nothing of the overwhelming abundance of, shall we say, *non-junk*...

    *If" I am supposed to read each and every post here as just an opinion, sure. Micro, I enjoy reading your posts but in this one instance, well... I'll just leave it alone.

    Around 20 percent of the people on the planet believe the sun revolves around the earth. A substantial number of people are climate change deniers. Statistics are a funny thing. So is circumstantial evidence. But the scientific method demands higher rigor. Falsifiability is sorely absent...
