OMG, I almost peed myself reading that.

You go Matt!

I design medical instrumentation for a living and attention to detail and claims is second nature if you don't want to:

a) kill someone
b) be sued for false claims

Critical thinking could solve a lot of the world's problems.

Most people don't know how.

Just reinforces "A fool and his money are soon parted"

Tony's blanket debunking of any and all fuel economy or additive claims makes his stance suspect, when so many have claimed to have voluminous documentation to the contrary. His denial of any conspiracy whatsoever shows serious naivet? of history-laden human nature for the powers that be to protect their long-established turf. The "Skeptic's Dictionary" he pushes poo poos just about every "fringe" claim imaginable, from UFO's to acupuncture. Hence, it is hard not to suspect that he is a paid disinformant to be so thoroughly dismissive of so many areas that have such a deep wealth of documentation supporting them.

Some people are just natural skeptics...maybe a poor childhood experiences...possibly genetic?

Maybe just from living in a world full of ***holes.....

Think yin/yang....2 sides to a coin....good/evil.....
