That's really funny - I usually find myself to the left of my typical classroom, and here I get hammered as an ultimate right-winger. Punishment for refusal to be ideological, I guess?

And you might be surprised to know that as an outsider I don't have political interests to promote (which makes European political circus so interesting). But yes, I'm trying to be a scientist. Thanks for noticing - perhaps I'm doing something right.

And finally, could you please point out where did I say anything about ¨painfully stupid¨ predictive record? Why do you need to use straw man arguments?
