Re: Keeping up with the theory (was is Corum and Corum forbidden topic?)
Original poster: "davep by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <davep-at-quik-dot-com>
Someone on the web, when it was young, used to have the
.sig line:
The net of a million lies
Harsh, maybe, but the web, like anything else, must be
taken with 'a grain of salt'. Proposed corrections to
others sites are clearly a sticky point. My view:
Politely phrased, such a proposed correction can do
no harm.
If accepted, fine.
If not, the inaccuracy ceases to be 'my' problem.
As to 'who am i to ...', In some cases, this is apt. In
other cases ( I cite no examples):
Wrong is Wrong.
Arguabkly the best that can be done is:
polite advisory (per above)
Current, friendly, accurate, site, keyworded to
allow anyone finding the 'insert word here' to
find an apt version.
Note that 'science' progressed for a manyness of centuries without
'peer review' (in the modern sense) by Just What Happens Here:
peer DISCUSSION.
In an ideal world 'only true' info would propagate, solving
THAT conundrum is an open problem, unlikely to be solved here.
