Climategate Scientist Michael E. Mann Exonerated


That means you're feeling guilty, and that obviously means that you ARE GUILTY.

guinganbresil: "I can only conclude that you are trying to build some sort of case against me"

In a court of law you'd be compelled to answer. In this setting, we'll have to settle for rational inference, which luckily is something I do very well. What I infer from your repeated evasion of this very simple question, which is also pertinent to your complaints that you are not, in fact, a liar, is that you chose the word "trend" and used it repeatedly WITH INTENT TO DECEIVE, just as I supposed that you had.

guinganbresil: "2 - I consider a 'lie' as a deliberate misrepresentation of facts - I do not consider errors, differences of opinion, or misunderstanding a lie. When people lie, they compromise their Honor - it leaves a mark..."

Well said.

Now, did you lie? Was your repeated, and therefore apparently intentional use of the word trend an error resulting from your misunderstanding or forgetfulness of your one statistics class 25 years ago, or was that usage "a deliberate misrepresentation of facts"?

Now do you want to give me a straight answer?

When, during this conversation about science, you used the colloquial instead of statistical sense of the word trend while referring to ERBS data, were you aware that in science, a more rigorous definition of the word trend exists?
