He once had a good reputation for being a voice of reason.

Then he posted a misleading and alarmist thread based on a single dodgy unchecked measurment, using even more dodgy equipment.

Now his reputation is only slightly better than that of the other trolls here,



In short - you could say his reputation is currentley in the gutter..

..but he's still looking at the stars.

Then I guess you missed the point of this thread, to show that you should always look for problems in methodology, don't just trust dodgy evidence, check it, see if it holds up to scrutiny. I said from the very beginning that I believed the initial measurement was faulty and I even stated why. I tested that hypothesis tonight and found that indeed a sturdy telescope solves the problem.

I did precisely what you won't see some dodgy "researcher" on youtube do every time they see what they think is evidence of a "pole shift" or "nibiru." I questioned my own results and re-tested with proper methods.

All of which is true, and for which i have respect for you for.

But still, does not take away form the fact that this was a misleading alarmist thread.

22 pages for what - a fucked up measurment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25720192

I said from the beginning to expect that. I did this as openly and transparently as humanly possible. I really don't see how you can find fault with me.
the lesson should be " if you want people to take you seroiusly don't cry wolf, and don't publish until you are sure"
 Quoting: AC

That's another good lesson as well, but in my estimation a greater lesson could be learned from teaching how to question your own results and do the proper legwork to arrive at the correct answer. I explained time and time again that I believed the problem to be the camera tripod. That's not crying wolf.
Imagine you really do see something unusual, a week from now, something you check and it seems correct.
Will anyone believe you now?
 Quoting: AC

Of course. If I check it, show what I'm doing, and explain the results then not only will it give good reason to believe me, but it will make whatever I did repeatable. That's how science works. You don't always, or even usually, get an exciting result. There are entire scientific journals dedicated to negative results. This, however, is an internet forum, not a scientific journal. I think it's more interesting and educational for everyone if they get to come along for the journey and see how it's done step by step as I do it.
 Quoting: Dr. Astro


Maybe you are thinking everyone is on the same frequency as you.

They are not.

Many will see this not as an "educational thread about how to cross check your results" but instead as " another cry wolf thread".

Just stating facts.

That is how people will see it.,

You might not choose to see that, or acknowledge that.
But no amount of logic or 'what you have actually said' in this thread takes away from that fact.

Like i said - if you want to be taken seriosly, and want to have a good reputation, you don't start 'educational threads' like this concerning axis tilt 2weeks before 12.21.12 on a fucking consiracy forum.

Just to take everyone on 'an educational journey'.
Then be surprised when your reputation suffers.
Know your audience man.

Clearly you are not stupid - but dude - seriously, are you stupid or something?
