Reply #5: I can't agree with the President on offshore oil, but of course, the importance of nuclear energy

[NNadir]

does not depend on either of the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very stupid logical fallacies of http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/poisoning-the-well.html">Poisoning the Well or http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html">Appeal to Authority.

Logical fallacies are fun of course, but they are not thinking.

The fact that Sarah Palin hates science and doesn't know any, and that she supports nuclear power does not imply that dumb anti-nukes love science or know lots of it.

In fact it is intuitively obvious that anti-nukes hate science, particularly nuclear science, about which they know nothing at all.

The fact that there is NOT ONE anti-nuke who loves science or knows science, which is why almost all anti-nuke arguments are essentially textbook cases of logical fallacies.
