What did you mean by "that shouldn't be in any academic paper until my recommendation of measuring it is done"? I think that might be the sticking point.
I was using google speaking keyboard. I was at a stoplight and spoke it and submitted.
I'm all for scientific method, be it showing positive, negative, or no results. I also know what isn't currently scientific, although I do have curiosity if some of those 'things' can indeed be proved.
This is not how science works, that is just paying attention to results that back your hypothesis or biases; in fact, doing this is not science at all.
EDIT: An example of this in the wild is how drug companies would cherry pick research to back the outcome the wanted; cherry picking is an anti-pattern of true science.
Happens to the best of us. My editing issues is Apple's autocorrect, I get some truly strange results sometimes.
That makes sense - though I hope you don't mind me asking but when you say "I also know what isn't currently scientific", do you mean untested hypotheses?
Hypothesizing then observing or reviewing past observations to verify the hypothesis is a form of experimentation. Every revelation of astronomy has been the result of experiments.
I happen to think occultists are wrong (as in: factually incorrect in their beliefs). But they are entitled to think whatever they want, so that's not a problem. What is a problem is objecting to data being collected and published.
But it seems that his speech-to-text translator wasn't accurate and that's not what he meant.
