Re: Chrono-Buster!!!
TTA,
Bytheway, Ray said it was ok to post a poll . Otherwise, I wouldn't have.
Fortunately, I have the tool of science on my side to expose you for what you are. And in this case, science does come in handy in terms of linguistic analysis of your posed poll question. Towhit:
Do you feel that RainmanTime has conducted his “scientific-debunking-investigations†in adherence to the TTI forums “general terms?†i.e. has he called you any names?
These two statements in your poll are contradictory with regard to answer the poll (which is, of course, the point of fielding a poll). Therefore, speaking scientifically (which I know you have admitted is not your speciality), given your contradictory statements that frame your poll, I hope you can realize that either a "Yes" or "No" answer could mean anything. Thus, scientifically, the poll means nothing.
Here, let me hold your hand a bit and guide you through this scientific process with an example. Let's say I am wishing to reply to your poll (even though I would not do that, because the poll is about me and that would not be a terribly ethical thing to do). So I read the first part of your poll ("Do you feel that RainmanTime has conducted his “scientific-debunking-investigations†in adherence to the TTI forums “general terms?"), and I would be inclined to vote "Yes", meaning that I think he has adhered to the TTI forums "general terms". Very well, I should then vote "Yes".
But wait. Something is not right. For now if I read the second statement in your poll (using "i.e." is not usually intended to counter the previous argument) I would wish to vote in the opposite polarity: (i.e. has he called you any names?). Well.... NO, RainmanTime has not called anyone any names. At least none that were not the truth (such as "hoaxer" or "fake" or other statements of truth).
My oh my, what a scientific quandary we are in here!! The TTA has set up a scientifically invalid poll, where the results cannot be properly interpreted with respect to the fundamental questions asked in the poll's question!
Would you care to modify your poll so people can know PRECISELY how they should vote? As it is, your poll reveals an ignorance of proper (scientific) polling methods.
