Independent Research? [modified]

You seem to be completely incapable of understanding anything. What I think is "probably true" is that "Greenpeace thinks their research is unbiased". I also state that publishing their research is an indicator that it probably is. It is you that makes assumptions based on who the speaker is.:rolleyes: Your post is a perfect example of your behavior.
So, the is ExxonMobile funded research, which is published like GreenPeace's, also "probably unbiased"?

OK. Let me get this straight, because your grasp of the english language is absolutely horrible... Person A: "I think my research is unbiased". Person B: "That's probably true". So then...you're saying that in the above text, you would interpret person B as saying that Person A is correct in that he "thinks" his research is unbiased rather than saying Person A is probably correct that his research is unbiased? Are you autistic or something? That makes no sense. Then, in the same breath, you say that the fact the Greenpeace published the research means that it is indeed probably not biased, thereby negating any possibility of the above interpretation of your words (and, by the way, verifying my above claim that you only consider the source of the message)? This is why I get frustrated with you. You're a completel moron.

No, because that was funded by Exxon. :rolleyes:

You made a baseless claim about what Greenpeace's position is on other studies. Is there a point? You also claim that Greenpeace thinks their research is unbiased, which is probably true. I expanded on that point - the Greenpeace research has been published, allowing anyone to find any potential bias. A pretty good indication right there that it is not biased.

I wish you would. this is a real waste of time Person A: "I think that Greenpeace believes their research is unbiased" Person B: "Thats probably true." Person B is saying that he agrees with A that "Greenpeace believes their research is unbiased."

Great, you have basis for your claim in one instance.

I don't accept your theory that Greenpeace and Exxon are equivalent. Or that your use of the word funding is the same in both cases.

That's not at all what you said. You said, "You also claim that Greenpeace thinks their research is unbiased, which is probably true." Mine was an accurate quote and yours is a restatement. I'll just assume that you admit your folly, given the extent you're going through to restate what you originally said. You'll never admit it, though.

Because you only consider the source. Typical leftist mindless drone...

I'm staggered. I think you said something intended as a reply, but i'll be damned if I can make one iota of sense out of it.

It has to be reviewed to be disproved.

Companies perform that research in conjunction with the FDA (which serves to help remove that inherent bias).
They kept it secret.

Why? One exists to push an extreme anti capitalist / envronmentalist agenda (up to and including the banning of chlorine chemistry), the other to sell petroleum products. Surely it is obvious what answers either organisation wants?

It's amazing isn't it? And people wonder why I can't hold back calling him an idiot. He's like Ilion on tranquilisers.

I have made myself perfectly clear. Your refusal to understand will remain your problem, not mine.

I agree you made yourself "clear". All you had to do was completel change what you originally said...And then say I was wrong! :laugh:
