Yes, I know that is too small to read comfortably, but don't worry ... all three of those columns of text are down below in a larger format ... but on this view of the whole thing you can read the title ... which is important.... so once you've read the title, you can scroll on down ... This one is all about the previous post ...or rather, it's about where the IDEA for the previous post came from. So ... it's probably a good idea to skip back one and read that first. If you haven't admired it already that is. I know I have. Here's a handy picture to act as a sort of "interlude" while you have a read of it. Well, I'm sure you all guessed that those three "scientific papers" I put on here in the previous post were all made up by me. And here's why I did it ..... it all sprung from a newspaper cutting... see above ..... and below.... here they are in the enlarged version I promised you ...... It's well worth reading .... What Boghossian has demonstrated beautifully with his cobbled-together, fake jargon-ridden "academic papers" is the sheer incompetence, gullibility and downright ignorance and low standards of those who read and accepted his work. He deliberately inserted all sorts of mistakes,fake trendy buzzwords and falsehoods into his essays and, I suspect, was pretty amazed that they all got accepted and published in so-called " respected and rigorous" journals. He's skewered them right through the heart with those papers he wrote. And it needed doing. I wouldn't mind having a go at it myself .. writing a complete paper, not just the title like I did in that previous post .. the whole caboodle. It's mighty tempting. I've got all the "skills" for it ... I'm a terrific liar, I know plenty of those fancy-pants biological buzz-words, and nobody knows who I really am. Well. nobody that matters anyway. I cut out that, er, cutting a while ago .... I wonder what has happened to him since. He should get a medal. Here's a remarkably apposite bit of music ... I remember the first time I heard that beautiful swoony intro thousands of years ago on Radio Luxembourg !
