Was your insulting description of how "TBs" deal
with the scientific studies, in response to what
akasha had said to me, *include* me, Vaj?

If you don't understand this, then what can I say. You have no
background or knowledge of regression, ARIMA and modeling. Why you
are trying to interject points with no basis in knowledge is
astounding.

Vaj commented:

This is a constant in the TB mentality: *sound* like you know what
you are talking about and hope that if you repeat it many times,
people will believe you. I find this to be a rather common phenom in
movement type and it is a subtle and continuous form of
disinformation. When it becomes pervasive, that is, everyone around
you or that you hang out with or listen to is parroting the same
disinformation, it *becomes your reality*. It's also the danger of
trying to use a scientific methodology NOT as an attempt to find the
truth, but as a marketing tool disguised as looking for the truth.
