Jousting with the Lancet: Pajamas Media Interviews Professor Gilbert Burnham
Has anyone wondered why after the prof stated they adjusted things from the lessons they learned from the previous farce of a study why the PJM interviewer didn’t press that issue? Why didn’t the interviewer dig and find out what procedures and methods went haywire in the first study? Doesn’t this now put doubt into the validity of this study? That these researchers have a track-record of going into the “field” without having all their ducks in a row? Why wasn’t this broached during the interview? The prof’s haste to generate perspective altering numbers has already delivered faulty numbers once…why in the world would we think that these numbers are now trustworthy?
Since Saddam had a track-record of rewarding families of homicide bombers in Israel…why in the world would we not think that families in Iraq wouldn’t be tempted to also get the idea that the U.S. might make restitution to families of so-called “lost loved ones” by declaring inaccurate data in efforts to generate cash for the household? I’ve traveled throughout the world…one thing I’ve realized is that truthtelling is not a requirement among Muslims. Muslim leaders are on record to admitting that they would lie if it would benefit or further their religion in some way. Why would we anticipate accurate answers from a culture that is not bound by truthtelling?
