Rahn/Sturdivan's Papers
Claim: Footnotes in papers can help decide their reliability.
Response: Nonsense. Reliability comes solely from the data and its
treatment.
Claim: Texas A&M professor Cliff Spiegelman disputes the RS
statistics.
Response: Proves nothing. Selective appeal to authority.
Claim: Art Snyder disputes the RS statistics.
Response: Again proves nothing. Another selective appeal to authority.
Claim: Our papers were "shoe-horned end runs around troublesome or
misunderstood or incomplete data."
Response: False. The data were sufficient, we hit them head on, and we
got the only fully justified answer.
