Is Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (Royal College) also a joke. The joke is on the online Conspiracy Theorists who invented his title who have been caught out again.

Can I ask the people who think this is all above board why any good new is rarely broadcast, NYC has dropped 99% restrictions, one of the most famous cities in the world and it doesn't even warrant a mention on MSM, odd. The BBC was also pushing the situation in India with around four stories a day not things have levelled off and are falling not a mention, does no one find this even a little bit strange?

I didn't ask about that though. I asked how which conspiracy theories have been proved right. America are vaccinating at a phenomenal speed. And what are they still restricting - what's the 1% they aren't doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So not a 99%. What are we at? I can shop, go to the cinema, travel, go for a meal - at any time of the day as there are no curfews. I know big indoor crowds are off - what else can't you do?

In history 'mostly right' = you lost. In literature 'mostly right' = fiction. In Conspiracy Theory 'mostly right' = (suggestions?) You do realise that to admit that Conspiracy Theorists are mostly right means that some Conspiracy Theorists are wrong. Blasphemy!

Hmmm ... there is a famous quote in modelling made by statistician, George Box that "All models are wrong, some are useful." I would say it gives a pretty clear steer on how to think about science.

I would say it gives a pretty clear steer on how to think about science. Mathematical models are an approximation of the real world in numbers. Newtons' model and Einsteins' model are radically different. To build HS2 you only need Newtons' Model. To get to Mars we will need Einsteins' Model. Both models are "right" and both models are "wrong", the statistician won't know why, the scientist will. The Conspiracy Theorist doesn't know how a scientific theory and a mathematical model interact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
