M = # of mistakes per post,
C = confidence with which mistaken assertions were made,
so E = Errogance, measured in Behes, in honor of his straight-faced dismissal of a large pile of scientific literature without having read any of it.
This leaves only the quantification of Tard. To further discussion, I suggest the following: Tard = Tard level
1 = basic numbskullery stemming from blind adherence to religious preconceptions (Joseph, Troutmac, or JGuy - level)
2 = based on subtle point of ignorance (Denyse-level, Salvador-level),
3 = based on deeper misunderstanding or denial of a fundamental principle (advanced Salvador level),
4 = deliberate misrepresentation (Phillip Johnson-level),
5 = deliberate misrepresentation with obfuscation (Dembski level)
6 = outrageous bald misrepresentation completely devoid of pretense to logic and validity (Kent Hovind - Jonathan Wells - level)
7 = irony meter breakdown, widespread keyboard destruction due to spewed beverages (Dave-level) |
11. Snorting lines of Xtal meth while enjoying a man handling by an oiled Apollo on the churches petty cash budget. (Haggard's)
