Tom Bethell proves that he knows jack about Science or the Scientific Method. This does not stop him from pontificating based on woefully incomplete knowledge and selective quotes.Has nobody realised his MO yet? Take some batty fringe cause (be it Intelligent Design, that HIV doesn't cause AIDS or that the Earl of Oxford was the real Will Shakespeare) & pump the hell out of it. Does he care about these causes? I doubt it. Does his side ever win over a consensus of experts on them? Of course not, that would defeat the whole purpose - notoriety. You can't be notorious if most people agree with you!
