[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 1582152, member: 57231"] I think you are misunderstanding the remarks that call out the video for being directed at you? The comments are not an attack at you at all. The value is that sharing it is important for the purpose of pointing out the deficiencies in what is being offered in the video. The peer review process can be flawed when there is confirmation bias and political agenda on the committee, but this is how the world works. There are very few meritocracies left in the world to insure qualifications before being granted a vote in technical research. The internet was always been a lost cause. The only filter we have here is each other and the mods. The whole idea is to put your ideas and observations on the table. Don’t be surprised if someone has already been there... Sometimes, we do find that the world is really round too... I for one hope you don’t stop posting and realize that “you” are not that “video” and that the video needed the criticism in some places, and even then the poster of that video is still entitled to his opinions and observations. It is just as valuable to refute something that isn’t true as it is to share something that has value. The more his theory checks out with repeatable results from other researchers, the better, but in many places he lacks the background and many of us here are qualified to be his critics. We are all here to share and learn, so don’t take it the wrong way. We just pointed out the guy in the video was way off in much of what he was saying from an engineering and physics view. There are many who can contribute without a PhD in physics, and at the same time, some who clutter the internet with noise. Somewhere in there we can sort things out if we remain calm. [/QUOTE]
