Well, we're responsible for that. These self-same criteria go down, well, we're responsible for that too, but now we have a brand new ad hoc explanation as to why they go down: phase transition. Notice the a priori assumption that the ME is an absolute given and the ad hoc explanation is to rationalize the contradictory evidence away. > > I'd love to ask John, "You state that the ME is a scientific theory which > means it is open to nullification.
