lawrocket 3 #28 June 1, 2012 I think you are making a stretch. Bill's logic is fine. The problem that I see is that Bill's logic is founded upon one or more assumptions, and bill actually owned up. He understands and agrees and since he wore his assumption, I have no problem with his statement. The assumption is the unknown. Bill, as I understand, gives a bit more credence to the climate studies because the methods being used are scientific. Thus,it is in his estimation, something more than a wild-assed guess and more of an estimate. I get that. That's fine. It's pretty well known that tobacco increases the risks of cancer. Denying that is silly. But telling someone he'll get cancer for smoking is as silly as saying he won't get cancer. We don't know. There are uncertainties in life, and for those we give estimates - not guesses, per se, but estimates based upon the best information available. On that, bill and I are actually pretty close together. It's simply a matter of the weight we give those estimates. My wife is hotter than your wife.

It would take some pretty powerful painkillers for me to tolerate U2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
