Facts are uncovered. Truth is what Tom has written.

Miller's experimental setup is flaky. No one has attempted to
repeat the experiment with that type of setup. Miller's "result"
confounds both Loretnz and dragged aether, so is of little
interest to either camp.

"Error bars" provided a face on Mars. You argue like you don't
know that science is about repeatability, precision, and
accuracy. It isn't horseshoes and hand grenades.

I suggest that you read Tom's writings again. Tom has never been
insulting to me, and Heaven knows I've given him reason to be so.
Sometimes it is hard to tell someone they are making uninformed
judgements without realizing what they are assuming.

But then again, Nature simply breaks your leg or takes your life
when you don't heed her warnings. Perhaps everyone else is
wrong, and you are right. Maybe it is OK to be sure there is a
Face on Mars...
