| Quote (DiEb @ Oct. 10 2009,11:43) | I'd love to start a new topic - but it seems that I'm not allowed to do so. Could someone start a thread titled Conservation of Information in Search - factual errors in an article of R. Marks and W. Dembski (or something like that)? It would be nice to have a place to collect our critique of their weaselings...
One problem with the article is that it is so sloppily written: For instance, the references seem just to be copied together (like creationistic pamphlets of old) from earlier works. And every time, I touch one, I find an error. That's not the fault of the reviewers, as those aren't expected to check the references - it's the fault of Dembski and Marks. And it is a typical sign of sloppy research. |
It happens that I woke this morning wanting to start an engineering-oriented discussion of the article somewhere.
I didn't even know that the "evolutionary computation" thread existed until now. The quality has been good, and there would be some advantage in just joining in. Then again, discussion of the D&M article deserves some prominence.
Hmm... I'm going to ask on that thread whether participants think there should be a thread devoted to the D&M article.
