On: Physicists Uncover Geometric ‘Theory Space’

[dwaltrip]

The vast majority of theoretical physicists know that they need strong experimental confirmation. It is disingenuous to imply that this isn't the case.

What are you trying to get at? Vague poetic denigration may be fun to write, but it isn't an effective way to communicate.

This was not a jab at scientists, but at people who eat up scientific factoids without having much understanding of science thereof.

[dwaltrip → romwell]

If that was the intention, there are certainly much better ways of responding to such people, than to snidely put them down.

I'm not really sure what the expectation is either... Theoretical physics is not exactly something you pick up in afternoon.
