Come on in, the water's fine. Come often: Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Retired teacher of law, economics, history, AP government, psychology and science. Former speechwriter, press guy and legislative aide in U.S. Senate. Former Department of Education. Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it. BS in Mass Communication, University of Utah Graduate study in Rhetoric and Speech Communication, University of Arizona JD from the National Law Center, George Washington University

Which is why scientists are often not optimal at dealing with explicit disinformation tactics.
Over in the turf of exposing fraudulent psychics (i.e., James Randi, Skeptical Inquirer, etc) it is often said:
– you can take a scientist with you to help check
– but you *must* take stage magicians
Given the Einstein quote, scientists don’t expect the universe to be trying to fool them, whereas the magicians expect deception. [Of course, some scientists have gotten pretty good at this, but some have been pretty badly fooled. Google: Puthoff Targ Geller ]
