[USMA:25102] Re: Article about metric in Australia

? I must say I'm quite disappointed in this piece. Never mind that it's already old. The main problem is what I consider to be a "hidden ifp supporter" disguised as "metric enthusiast" (SIC!). I'm appalled at the level of nonsense uttered in this article, and I feel some of this individual's

Dear Terry, I suspect that I am the 'academic' referred to in this article. I have found the original script of the 'Ockham's Razor' that I presented on Radio National in January 1995. I have copied it below. 'Ockham's Razor' is a weekly national science-based program where a speaker is invited t

This is probably a hoax. Look at the title of the URL.
