but that's why I made my sarky sigline: "anti-woo" was, from the get-go, as much about "debunking" women's equality and insisting the Third World had nothing to teach us (because if they did we'd've accepted it already, natch) as it was about fighting Ernst Zündel or Shirley MacLaine

it distorts how science is actually done, the real Angst and uncertainty many scientists like Oppenheimer and Carson experienced, and history in general (I've had it with Giordano Bruno being turned into some goody-two-shoes who opened the way for technocracy: he was a friggin' magus)
