Re: What are you somking?

"I am sure that whatever the "active" ingredients are in homeopathic medicine (they might very well be active) they are surely more concentrated than 1 ppb and therefore enormously more concentrated than if diluted in the Atlantic ocean"

BBC took up the Amazing Randi's challenge of one million dollars to anyone who could demonstrate the efficacy of homeopathic medicine in a double blind test supervised by the most reputable scientists in Britain. The result...no difference between the homeopathic medicine and the placebo whatsover...exactly as expected by any rational scientist.

Can anyone hear one part in a thousand, one part in a million, one part in a billion. Jon Risch thinks he can. John Curl thinks he can. Audiophiles think they can. I've watched audiophiles make total jackasses out of themselves again and again and again throughout my life as they are easily tricked and misled. Perhaps that is why they hate double blind tests with such passion. It mercilessly puts the lie to their most cherished idiocy.
