[1] re this from <JC> : See FN, if you were aware, you would NOT have scripted the Times of India report based on the fudged Chagas da Silva "alcoholism" study.

The author in question seems to have published quite a bit on this topic: Or is it that you just shoot the messengers when you don't like the message they're carrying? Or, are some achievers in academia more equal than others? == JC's response: Well Well ..... as I perceive some cuteness in display .......let me put it this way..... Preface: The issue at hand is NOT what the "author" eventually got published. The issue is the Times of India article which (as per your own acknowledgement) YOU scripted to "help a young Goan doctor", and the TOI headline of which + the conclusions contained therein. were challenged by both Santosh Helekar and me (and about which the author wrote to me indicating that "statistics in Indian studies are always fudged" ) (which may be true but I do not believe it to be true "always") 1: Do you remember the article in question? 2: Do you remember the GoaNet e-debate 200X not 197X (;-) which involved you? 3: If you do ....Are you still wondering what my problem was with the TOI article you scripted and sent off? 4: If you really wish to know, do submit it again to GoaNet - so that independent minds can refresh themselves of what the problem might be. You appear to repeatedly hide behind the "cliche skirt" (have omitted the accent -as GoaNet does a number on the accent) - so I will ignore the well worn 'shoot the messenger' bit. jc
