SA Fortune Telling Not Always on the Mark
Recently on Say Anything, Anna posted the following story about a protest to global warming. The ridiculous call was raised that a vast majority of the signatories were Medical Doctors.
The problem with this logic: none of the signatories professions or degrees were listed.
So, in a random sample of the A list (the list Anna posted), we will see how many of the scientists fit the claim.
Earl M.J. Aagard. Biologist. PhD in Fish and Wildlife Biologist. Teaches Ornithology and Earth sciences.
Douglas E. Applequist: Chemist (apparently of the bio variety that matters so much).
Harold H. Arndt (geologist)
Those I couldn’t find info on: Randall Allen, John Henry Alsop, Joshua C. Allen, Steve E. Aeschbach, Timothy Andreychek (definitively), Elton E. Arensman, Bob J. Ascherl, Winifred Alice Asprey, Richard A. Aurand, Azizollah Azhdam, Monroe Ashworth
(Full diclosure, After, Joshua C. Allen, my 3rd choice, I abandoned full randomness, in favor of rare names, picked closest to the nesrby random name I chose).
Out of the three I could find actual info on, 2 of the 3 fit the criteria put forward by our beloved imbecile sparkie for counting. The rest are still a mystery.
The reason for challenging the study is bogus.
