It is not necessarily the case that because you haven't seen copious data such data doesn't exist. That would be false inference. It may just be because you have not actually looked at the data that has been provided.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, that we accept your implied claim that there is insufficient data demonstrating that dogs can recognize their masters based on their facial features alone. Will you agree that there is at least some experimental data suggesting that some dogs can recognize their masters based on their facial features alone? If you agree that at least some such experimental data does exist are you willing and able to present at least some experimental data that suggests that the contrary is true?
It seems to me that, in all fairness, if you are going to require copious amounts of data in support of one side of the argument, then you also ought to require equally copious amounts of data in support of the opposing argument.
|
I believe in order to prove whether dogs can recognize their masters from their facial features alone, it would have to be a very controlled experiment. One such experiment could be a large picture of the owner placed on a wall next to pictures of other people. No hats or glasses that the dog might be drawn to would be used. And all the people would look similar. Their hair styles, shape of face, etc. If the dog ran up to the picture of his owner and wagged his tail, or did any number of things (such as jump on the picture, scratch at the picture, sniff the picture, etc), that would be a pretty sure sign that he knew who his master was by his facial features alone. But the experiment would need to be replicated for reliability.

Strange given the silly claims of Lessan which are based on no experiments; stranger, still, given that TLR has repeatedly posted the published results of such an experiment.
We gather that when reality does not conform to your fantasies, you declare it not sufficiently controlled.

No, you're arrogant because you're an ignoramous but you insist on "correcting" people who're vastly more knowledgeable on the subject matter than you'll ever be -- and without making any effort to find out if your "corrections" are the slightest bit accurate. And you're a liar because you've repeatedly lied in this overlong masturbatory exercise of yours.
Quote:
You are not duty bound to name call no matter how much I irk you.

I'm duty-bound to point out your lies and your willful ignorance, and that you're promoting thoroughly-disproved nonsense.
Quote:
I'm sure you'd fail me if I was your student because I would not regurgitate what you want to hear.

If you proved as arrogant, dishonest, incurious and impervious to evidence in the classroom as you have been in this thread, then I have no doubt at all that you'd indeed fail the class, no matter who the teacher might be.
Quote:
You would burn me at the stake alive if you could, based on your total out of character reaction. I am not going to be the brunt of your anger.

Congratulations! I honestly think that's the first time I've ever felt the need to use that particular smiley -- ever.
Oh, here's another word to add to your vocabulary: projection.
Quote:
To say that you are ashamed of your species because of my effort to understand sight belies your intention in here. That is not what a caring teacher says to anyone.
|
Again, if you proved as arrogant, dishonest, incurious and impervious to evidence in the classroom as you have been in this thread, then I would have every reason (and every right) to say such a thing. And stop lying: you've made absolutely no effort to understand anything. Indeed, you've gone to great lengths to avoid learning or understanding anything new.
Quote:
You have a responsibility to stay calm, and not be defensive.
|
I'm perfectly calm, and I'm not at all defensive. I'm offended by your dishonesty and your willful ignorance. Again, there's a difference.
Quote:
Actually, I have no idea why you're here because, according to you, I'm not educable. So why are you here?
|
Because, as I've repeatedly pointed out, I'm here to provide educational opportunities for others. [I had, like probably everyone else, given you the benefit of the doubt to begin with, but you quickly proved to be uneducable. That doesn't mean that others in the thread can't learn something interesting/useful.] And also because I feel duty-bound to point out your lies and misinformation.
Quote:
You need to chill out or we can't talk anymore. I will continue to research the ciliary muscle to see if there was any validity to what was posted.

Suuuure you will ...
That having been said, I'm beginning to think that you really are just an incredibly persistent troll. It's difficult to believe that someone as aggressively ignorant and as arrogant as you seem to be could possibly function in normal society.
|
You have really morphed into someone else since I first met you. Maybe I've tested your patience, and you've had enough. There have been people down through history who were killed because of their 'different' ideas. How would you feel if one day it was proven that Lessans was right. I bet all of you would feel pretty rotten considering how I was treated in here. I know I know, you would say it couldn't happen. I am not even going to try to talk to you about this subject anymore, because you are becoming sarcastic just like the rest.

Just what makes you think that she does? Whoever is taking care of her probably thought a computer with internet access would be good therapy to intigrate her back into normal society. - WRONG! Did you know she has imaginary children and grandchildren?
|
That's not nice doc. You too are turning into a warewolf. All of you are morphing into blood sucking attack animals. And you don't think this has anything to do with group think? I just talked to my son (the radiologist) and I told him about how I've been treated on this forum. He is upset with me for taking this abuse.

Maybe, but the following day we'll be feeling fine again because on that day the Space Vixens from Alpha Centauri B will arrive and give us all handjobs!

You don't understand the rules of the puzzle so you are not qualified to judge what is a correct solution, there are probably many correct, but you have only one and can't recognize anything else. I posted a correct solution in post #2449, the puzzle is solved.
The rules stated that a letter 'could not be with another letter twice', but that does allow 'a letter to be with that letter once', hence each could be with itself once in a group.

You cannot have AGA because this A is seen twice even if it's in another group. There is no two of any combination of letters in this puzzle.

Okay, what, precisely does "never be twice with any other letter" mean?
|
Exactly what it says. I'm looking at the answer and, as I just said in the previous post to thedoc, there are not any letters from A to O that are repeated twice with the same letters in any of the 7 lines or 35 groups of 3.

I know I don't; that is a definite. I also see how people are retaliating. It shows me that any sane person can act insane if pushed to the brink. I guess that's what I've been doing, unwittingly. People are getting satisfaction from becoming part of the mob, and I must be getting some kind of pay off as well. I thought I was here to share something. Now it's turned into a witch hunt. I'm done after the last few questions come in. This is just one more extension of the same old people (just a different forum) than the ones I've already encountererd. Thank goodness I have finally been cured. And it sure as hell doesn't make any of you look good either; especially in a professional light.

peacegirl, you can stop posting, put people on ignore, or respond, or do whatever you want. However the "barring" people from posting to you is just more histrionics.
And there is no witch hunt here. Goodness you are delusional.

I don't want to talk to anyone here except the few people who were fair with me. That doesn't leave many. I'll check one last time for any questions, and then I must leave. And btw LadyShea, I have 4 children and 3 grandchildren. Don't listen to thedoc.
