Yes, we just now noticed that when you claimed HEI's
report was a "rebuttal" of "fraudulent or careless"
science, and were presented with an actual quote from
that report that said it had no substantive quarrel
with the original results,

The results were presented as evidence that
particulates were extremely dangerous, were intended
to be used as justification for increased regulation,
and were used as justification for increased regulation.

Those afflicted by this regulation complained the report
was bogus.

Under outside pressure, the report was reinvestigated,
and the reinvestigation was a retreat on the point at
issue, a retreat on the danger of particulate
emissions.

(Repeated rather than waste any more effort on the same old lie:)

Liar, liar, pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire.

Previously-quoted summary from the HEI report, with a few
formerly-elided words now restored to the end of the sentence:

"Overall, the reanalyses assured the quality of the
original data, replicated the original results, and
tested those results against alternative risk models and
analytical approaches WITHOUT SUBSTANTIVELY ALTERING
THE ORIGINAL FINDINGS OF AN ASSOCIATION BETWEEN
INDICATORS OF PARTICULATE AIR POLLUTION AND
MORTALITY." [emphasis added]

You thought I'd forgotten what the ellipses in my original quote
represented, Quacko? Not only are you a lying sack of ***,
you're a genuinely *stupid* one as well; too dumb and arrogant to
even avoid an obvious trap.

To say that "we have no quarrel" was just to say "Hey,
it is all someone else's fault", but the lateness of the
discovery that the evidence against particulate was
faulty shows whose fault it really was

But it wasn't faulty, liar.

- Academia was
acting as a propagandist and activist, not as an arena
where differing points of view meet in an effort to
discover the truth.

Sure it was, liar.

And even if you want to buy the excuses academia gave in
this case, there are a lot more examples - and no doubt
a lot more excuses.

Bite me, liar.
