Reply #125: and just why is that...???

[DrGregory]

Because of the EXTREMELY LOW scientific acumen here; I did simplify
by saying "reflects", when technically a small amount is what a
true scientist would call reflection - the majority is re-radiation.
==================================================================

Why is the level of scientific acumen around here SO LOW??

You can make fun and make disparaging remarks about the
"Bible thumpers" or "right wing-nuts" or whatever...

However, I've visited forums in which there were
"Bible thumpers", and right-wingers that had a
grasp of the principles of science and physics
that is VASTLY SUPERIOR to what I've seen here.

Isn't there enough intellectual honesty in the
progressive community to admit that nothing is
perfect.

If one points out a limitation imposed by the
laws of physics on some progressive-favored
technology, then the progessives "think"
( term used loosely ), that they have to
denigrate the claim of the limitation.

When they do that - it is so EASY to PROVE
them WRONG!! One posts a good link to a
University web site. ( Progressives do
respect Universities as sources of good
knowledge, don't they? ) When one denigrates
good physics; one only comes off looking like
a FOOL to the intelligent scholar.
