I do not have the patience for it, taking as many exceptions as I do to the overall approach of Dembski and Marks.Tom Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588057273889552197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782688301621700725.post-11537074877978846352010-03-23T09:10:00.160-07:002010-03-23T09:10:00.160-07:00Your critique of D&M's calcs are the core ...Your critique of D&M's calcs are the core and beauty of science: professional peer review. Before I publish something I first have a guy like you review it for exactly this reason. The point is to get the physics right; nothing else!

BTW: in their new paper <i><a href="http://marksmannet.com/RobertMarks/REPRINTS/2010-EfficientPerQueryInformationExtraction.pdf" rel="nofollow">Efficient Per Query Information Extraction</a></i> shows, they do the Markov chain analysis you have made earlier (and me too). But they don't work with the <i><a href="http://dieben.blogspot.com/2009/10/which-parameters-did-dawkins-use-for.html#comments" rel="nofollow">effective rate of mutation</a></i>. Two days ago, I asked them about it (on their <a href="http://www.uncommondescent.com/evolution/new-peer-reviewed-id-paper-deconstructing-the-dawkins-weasel/#comment-349970" rel="nofollow">blog</a>, in an email, and in an article on <a href="http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Efficient_Per_Query_Information_Extraction_from_a_Hamming_Oracle" rel="nofollow">rationalwiki</a>), but I didn't get an answer, yet.DiEbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099109109735165335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7782688301621700725.post-74933330321831793492010-03-16T01:24:17.530-07:002010-03-16T01:24:17.530-07:00I emailed this to Dembski and Marks:
Dear Bill an...I emailed this to Dembski and Marks:<br /><br /><i>Dear Bill and Bob:<br /><br />As a member of the IEEE, I'm calling on you to comply with the IEEE Code of Ethics, and correct the errors in the online version of your TSMC-A article. For more on this matter, see<br /><br />http://boundedtheoretics.blogspot.com/2010/03/errors-in-of-information-in-search.html<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Tom English</i><br /><br />I will not violate Dembski's copyrights by posting his entire response. He begins by expressing admiration for my "high moral standards," and goes on to indicate that he and Marks will make what corrections they believe are needed. Then he writes,<br /><br /><i>By the way, how many other members of the IEEE have you openly charged with ethics violations? Just the two us? That would be a coincidence.</i><br /><br />First, I have not charged Dembski and Marks with ethics violations. I have stated my opinion of their conduct, and have alerted them to what I believe are their ethical obligations.<br /><br />Second, I read the Riot Act to a certain researcher during a paper session at an IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, perhaps ten years ago. He was pushing schema theorems for genetic programming, no matter that he'd been informed of cut-and-dried errors in his arguments for them. I'm omitting his name now because he's gone on to do respectable work.Tom Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588057273889552197noreply@blogger.com
