Digging around, looking for something else, I ran across this rather
interesting cite...
http://www.csicop.org/si/9012/critical-thinking.html
Anyone here have reason to disagree with it? It is in the context of
evaluating paranormal claims, but has bearing on a lot of what we've been
bandying about lately.
It's just a restatement of scientific method, of course, but well written.
If someone wants to dispute it, I'm all ears.
