At the same site, Robert McNeill commented about Bob Berenz, : | Quote | | The claim that E=mc is, as physicists are fond of saying, not even wrong. The units on the left and right hand sides of the equation don’t match up. ....... If Berenz wants to insist on his version of the formula then his quantities for E and m no longer mean the same thing that they do for every other physicist out there. Which is fine, as long as he is able to come up with coherent alternate definitions for these quantities that form the basis of a scientific worldview that can be as broadly convincing as the current one. This is a rhetorical advantage of formal systems like mathematics: it renders certain varieties of crankery literally incoherent. |
I see this as similar to Gary's abuse of nonstandard meanings of 'intelligence' and so forth.

Gary, Bob Berenz is a real person. |
Ah, yes. Like his use of the term 'learning' and its variants to mean exactly the opposite of its definition in Cognitive Science. Something that's been pointed out to him repeatedly and that he has never addressed.
Still more avoidance and deflection and distraction behavior from our favorite epic failure.
The man who can't even get enough credit to buy a cup of coffee.
