>verified and failed predictions mean nothing to mewell thats why you'll never understand anything, and be doomed to just be blown around like a leaf in the wind by the perceived consensus or authority.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b240PGCMwV0You fell for rockdoc's haze just like I said you did. His geochemistry is better than mine but he can't use it to make good predictions. And thats the ONLY thing that matters and you should care about - ability to predict.
>I wasn't referring to anyone's predictionThat's where you went wrong in life. Likely when you were a kid. Too late to change now, your self pride will doom u to follow the path of the fool for the rest of your life.
Some kids grasp the criticality of predicitons instinctively before they even get to school, some can be taught it. Most humans never grasp it. You are one such person - Blithely talking past the critical to get to the non-critical.
Anyway, David wasn't all that good at his geochemistry. I poked holes in that aswell. He can't admit that larger hydrocarbons can be made at mantle pressure, like methane to ethane and propane, even though its been demonstrated in the lab by diamond anvil experiments. When i mentioned this to him and gave him the experiment link, he ignored it completely, instead just carried on making noise about what an idiot i was for believing larger hydrocarbons can be made at mantle pressure. Unlike David I don't ignore key inconvenient details. You allude that you were following the discussion and marshaling who won, but I think all you were doing was weighing up who insulted the other the most, and declared David the winner. That's how 95% of arguments are judged on the internet by plebs.
