One of the hallmarks of (good) science is that, when presented evidence
contradictory to theory, theory changes to incorporate the new evidence.
Do you use science to dissect poetry?

No, but I do use mathematics, handmaiden of science.

....to dissect poetry. Riiight.

I've heard people say that the Atkins diet isn't good for you, but no
one debates that going into dehydration and ketosis can make you lose
weight.
That's not what I said. I said that many scientists were saying that the
Atkin's Diet was not performing as claimed, when it clearly was, because
their model's couldn't explain it.

Some scientists are wrong. Does this come as a surprise to you?

That's hardly pertinent. Despite your efforts to sidetrack the disscusion,
the point still stands that scientific studies can reasonably be likened to
a form of talking about what one hasn't done. They often produce spurious
results. Lay persons with experience were right, were a number of
scientists without direct experience were wrong.

No--the people calling it Qi without being able to define it are doing a
good enough job.
So, what's the problem?

They're using a word that has no meaning to explain a panoply of
phenomena.
"Wakalixes" sounds cooler, and has the same effect.

You mean anything you're not aware of doesn't exist.

How about we listen to people who can fight and ignore people who
can't?
We were talking about Qi here, not fighting.
Quite.

So - you commented on something here that is impertinent to anything else.
What a surprise!
Wayne, you're an idiot.

If it has some impact on fighting, all the better.
And if it has none, no matter. Got you.

If it has none -- so what?
Got me what?
Wayne, you're an idiot squared.

What's all this measuring shit?
It's, you know, our way of understanding the universe.
Are you lost? This is rec.martial-arts.

Wayne, you're an idiot cubed.

If you care so little, why did you submit your uninformed, idiotic
response into this whole conversation?
I don't much care that you get so much enjoyment from chasing your tail.
I'm just wondering why.

Wayne, you're an exponential idiot.

Just shut your piehole and go away.
You mean as opposed to hanging around so as to shoot your pointless
argument to pieces, just for the hell of it?

You've done nothing of the sort; you've strung words together that almost
make sense in English.

You don't understand tenses. Get an education before you attempt to
denigrate another person's grasp of English. I could tear your whole
argument apart. It's untenable.

Wayne, you're a super-exponential idiot.

That would put you in a bad posistion, because I'm clearly smarter than you.
