But the question in dispute is whether reviewed journals are actually peer reviewed on politically sensitive topics, rather than theologically reviewed for comformity with the holy doctrines of state sponsored religion. Recent events prove that on certain topics, they do not carry science, but are mere megaphones for the holy ranting of the priesthood. Science is not that which the state decrees to be science. It is that which follows the rules of science, which unwritten rules correspond, more or less, to the written rules of the older and more prestigious journals. If these journals are reluctant to apply these written rules on certain sensitive topics, then what appears on those sensitive topics will not be science, and hence what appears or fails to appear in such journals is not an indication of truth, but of religion. In particular if the replacement hockey stick had been genuinely peer reviewed, then, in accordance with the unwritten rules of science, and the written rules of the older and more prestigious science journals, the data and calculations supporting the graph would have been made available. Had the data and graphs been made available, people would have objected nine years ago that ten trees are not enough. Since not genuinely peer reviewed, since not in conformity with Journal rules, therefore not genuine science, therefore mere theology. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
