If you're basing your post on a Penn and Teller Bullshit episode, they now say they were wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrub3dt7R5U


pick one study or argument, which is the best, and i'll look into it more carefully.

the wikipedia article is lengthy, and contains errors, but if i point one out you will presumably say there's another part that's better. that's fine, but let's skip that step and go straight to the part you wish to stand behind.

I'll leave the argument at "fix the wikipedia article."
