Have you considered that you've been mistaking my intent this whole f***ing time and maybe that's why I don't have any reason to answer those questions? Not out of refusal, but because I never was questioning the validity of this model? You're assuming way too much. I'm not saying you did that. I acknowledge that you're just doubting models because you can lie with them, and I'm noting that you're not willing to back up that point with anything substantial, which again makes me wonder why you expressed the opinion in the first place. I'll be happy to have an exchange on scientific methods, even if it's tangential to the topic. But you keep dodging. So what is it that you're actually trying to say? That everyone is naked underneath their clothes? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

I suppose the closest implied criticism is of how statistics can make data and numbers sing for you and steer it toward a result. I don't know how much statistically significant the difference is in the model, and once again, I wasn't criticizing it. At best, the only thing I would have scrutiny over is the statistical significance of the data, but that isn't a criticism specific to this or any model. I take it your refusal to answer my second question (what better way than to use models?) means you sighing don't have a better way in mind. So why are you echoing the completely pointless doubt about using models in research then? --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

I encouraged you to both air your grievance (if any) with the models used in this particular study, and to offer insight on what alternative methodology should be employed in weather and climate science. Did you respond to that, or did you defensively tell me to calm down? (Response was to Kineth, I was too slow) --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. |

| scar the 1 09/14/18 8:22:57 AM #14 | Kineth posted... I'm not doubting the model or the conclusion. Ease up. No, you're siding with casting doubts on models as part of a methodology. A quite asinine observation that isn't really relevant here unless you're looking to criticize this particular study. Again, imagine if you were to criticize people for using words any time they said something.

| scar the 1 09/14/18 8:13:15 AM #10 | Essentially, doubting something because "they used models and you can make models say anything" is about as useful criticism as "they used words, and you can make words say anything". Fundamentally it's true, but it doesn't really add anything to the conversation. Using models is a methodology that has been shown to be effective time and time again - in fact, most sciences completely depend on models. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage.
