Howard Johnson Replication Tube Claim

Someone said:

"I am sorry, nothing will stop me once I have made up my mind."

Not even the truth or the evidence of your own eyes, apparently.

Someone also said:

Truth & Evidence mean nothing on the internet. Just about everything can be faked.

You have shown us that TinselKoala, well done and congratulations again. Sincerely.

What you cannot fake is your own replication, unless you lie to yourself.

Next up: Mylow´s emotional apology video

Stay tuned

Unbelievable. You actually said something I agree with. You must be losing your touch.

Hmm, well nyc asked for it trying to bring Bearden into the discussion as he did.

HAH!

Sheesh, you said something I agree with also.

AquariuZ, good luck with your motor, I mean that.

Forget all the other nonsense. This is all a learning experience.

I think HJ knew something, and am pretty sure no one knows the full extent of what he did know. If you can make it work, I'll be glad.

TK the problem with all of this is not that such vidios can be faked, Hell every one should know they can be.

The problem with all of this is the claims made, and no proof. Folks believe, they try and replicate with ends a a futile event. Yet it is always some one else fault of the failed attempt, or just not enough info and so on.

No mater what you say or do would not convince these folks this is not real. If they whant to belive they will.

I do not see much wrong with such, yet the disappointment when they try, and the taste of failing is the problem. 

Such is not the job of anyone to show it is a fake. It is the claimant  to show it is real. This was avoided in this case, and most others that are shown.
Strange how in this filed this is just ignored, for the hopes it is real.

Most of these folks would never fall for a Nigerian scam, yet they would instantly believe a group of videos on the internet. 

Most interesting situation is it not?

It sure is. I'm not so concerned with the belief/disbelief question, it's more a question of how the issue is approached. Fuzzy thinking, illogic, saying "my mind's made up, don't distract me with facts", that kind of thing, especially when coupled with a strong case of paranoia, does not seem to me to be compatible with the objective attitude that progress in this field demands.
I mean there are at least 2 approaches being illustrated here.
First, the empirical scientific approach, which is constantly correcting and revising attitudes and knowledge based on experience and facts. If an idea or hypothesis can be shown to be incorrect, it's abandoned and the researcher is free to explore something else.
The second approach is epitomized by some recent posts, you know the ones I mean, and the general attitude of Sterling's flock. They know that they are right, and there is really nothing that will change that. After all, they are smart people, anyone can see that. So they almost deliberately construct "experiments" that have maximal chance of PROVING what they want to show, rather than disproving it, so when the experiment goes wrong (yet another Mylow config replicated and tested to no avail) they decide that there was something wrong with the experiment, rather than the theory, so they start scraping and gluing all over again. Instead of rejecting the theory which does nothing  but generate failed experiments and going ON to something different, or even a new extension of the same old same old.
