If I accidentally developed a cheap easily mass-produced weapon with an incredible destructive potential, then you'd better believe that I'd probably make myself forget what I'd developed.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -
I don´t think so. Both possible positions of Stefu´s example do exist, as a matter of fact. So if you discovered beyond doubt that one is true, you would by burying the truth act contrarily to civic virtue.Originally posted by loinburger
2. Your extrapolation was in assuming what answers would be given to your new hypothetical based on the answers to the given hypothetical. This was a strawman.Now, if I ask myself: Who profits from a War against Iraq?, the answer is: Israel. -Prof. Rudolf Burger, Austrian Academy of Arts

What would be the fun in that? I'd need a whacked out political/religious ideology first, and those are a real pain in the ass to develop. (I suppose that I could just pick and choose from the whacked out Apolyton ideologies, but that would feel like cheating -- if I'm going to conquer the world in the name of a whacked out ideology, then I'd want that ideology to be Original Loinburger Quality.)Originally posted by DinoDoc

Burying an invention, you wouldn´t help in discrediting those who know the truth. Burying a discovery, you would. Particularly in a case like Stefu´s.Originally posted by loinburger
Nowhere in that post did you draw the distinction between an "invention" and a "discovery."Now, if I ask myself: Who profits from a War against Iraq?, the answer is: Israel. -Prof. Rudolf Burger, Austrian Academy of Arts

Stefu's example has one team of scientists. Your strawman contains an additional team.Originally posted by Comrade Tribune

Which post is that? You mean the one that I had quoted in the post of mine that you just quoted? You can infer that I have read a post if I have quoted it, particularly if that post consists of two terse lines.Originally posted by Comrade Tribune

In Stefu's case, it is assumed that nobody else would undertake the research project after your own team's results are published. You don't risk discrediting anybody, unless of course you've changed the hypothetical again.Originally posted by Comrade Tribune

Loin, let me recommend some Tylenol - it does wonders after continually banging your head against the wall like that.

Classic rant...What would be the fun in that? I'd need a whacked out political/religious ideology first, and those are a real pain in the ass to develop. (I suppose that I could just pick and choose from the whacked out Apolyton ideologies, but that would feel like cheating -- if I'm going to conquer the world in the name of a whacked out ideology, then I'd want that ideology to be Original Loinburger Quality.)
ideologies are cheap. Look at EvC! How hard can they be?
