[QUOTE="Reasonably Sane, post: 77568698, member: 452228"] Two things. First, I wasn't talking specifically about this thread, but about science as weaponized in the 21st century. Second, this IS a religious forum. OK, a third thing. I'm not interpreting physics. I'm trying to use analogies to simplify the explanation. It's funny, the CIO of a fortune 100 company, who was also a personal friend, worked with me for a few years and one day, when I was explaining something complex regarding computers, he said to me, "You should write a book of analogies.". I asked him what he meant. He said I was really good at using analogies to explain complex things to people outside the field they are addressing. And one time at a client who had purchased our software a year before but wasn't using it, I taught a class of his senior programmers how to use it and he wrote an email to my manager stating that if they had realized how easy it was to use they would have been using it a lot more in that year. And I've learned, in the years that followed (actually, a couple of decades now) that whenever someone really takes issue with my analogies or even strongly disrespects them, it is the point the analogy is making that they don't like. i.e. sometimes the analogy describes it too well. But, as usual, opinions vary. And after all of the above, yes, I admit that I can be guilty of the Dunning Kruger effect myself from time to time. I try to avoid it, though. I do research before I take a strong stand. But when is enough research really enough? ;) [/QUOTE]
