In this post I would like to correct all the blunders made by Ferdinando in his latest post appended below with respect to fair use of copyrighted material, publication in scientific journals, appearance of published medical scientific articles in the pubmed/medline databases, the difference between where Linoli's article is published and where my recent peer-reviewed research article is published, and the difference between the 18th century and the 19th and 20th centuries. Here are my corrections:
1. Uploading a copyrighted publication in the public domain and allowing it unrestricted access to the whole world, let alone to the 10,000 or so members of Goanet, is not considered "fair use" according to the U.S. copyright law. Nobody can upload the text of a copyrighted textbook or scientific journal on the internet for anybody to access it, and claim that it is covered by the fair use provision because it is meant for educational and research purposes. 2. Scientific papers are not published on political, religious and/or conspiracy theorist websites the links to which have been provided time and again by Ferdinando, Fr. Ivo, Gilbert, Barad, etc. They are published in scientific journals. My cited 2010 paper is not published in the same journal as Linoli's paper. Linoli's paper was published in an obscure Italian journal called "Quaderni Sclavo di diagnostica clinica e di laboratorio". My paper has been published in a widely read open access peer-reviewed Neuroscience journal called "Frontiers in Human Neuroscience". 3. The fact that both Linoli's paper and mine appear in Pubmed/Medline does not mean we have both published our papers on the "same site". Pubmed/Medline is a scientific database that archives all papers (especially all medically relevant ones) published since at least the 1920s. They include the best as well as the worst papers. For instance, here is a link to a paper written by Albert Einstein in 1920: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17820331 Here is a link to the Nobel Prize winning discovery of the structure of DNA by Crick and Watson in 1953: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13054692 4. There is no subjective similarity between the 18th century and 19th and 20th centuries. The difference between them is not similar to the difference between 59 and 60 years, as claimed below. There were 100 years between corresponding dates in 18th and 19th centuries, and 200 years between the 18th and 20th century. Albert Einstein published all his scientific discoveries in the 20th century. He died in 1955.
