Articles published in Scientific American are overview pieces, not "new
findings" of the type that routinely get peer review.

But if you think those SciAm articles aren't gone over closely for
credibiltiy and that the authors don't have stature in their fields..... too
bad for you.

As for the hockey stick article. you said:

you would know that if only questions a small aspect of the original
formalism of Mann, et al., and does not detract from their result in any
substantive way, <

For serious people reading this, here's the article's title, it should give
you a big hint as to whether it only "questions a small aspect" of it...

Title: Hockey sticks, principal components, and spurious significance

Elifritz, I don't think you are competent or honest. Enough said.
