Yet you insist on using percent difference when comparing what you predict
to what is observed, rather than standard deviations which provide a clearer
picture of the precision. Is it because you are dishonest, or simply don't
understand simple error analysis?

I'm going to go with "a lot of column a, and a lot more of column b".

So much for the claim that nothing interesting or controversial ever gets
published.

Yep.

But notice how you are the only one hooting and screaming about it.

Of course your entire point of view is formed off the fact that I've
repeatedly made fun of your ideas and shoved your arrogant stupidity back in
your face.

I'm sure it is merely a /coincidence/ that you are unable to discuss my
technical points, and instead snip everything wholesale then repeat the
claim I had just discredited.

If you don't like it, stop talking like you know better than the rest of
modern science. You aren't. 30 years of fringe publications are evidence
enough of that.

If you read the paper in Nature you will understand that the newly
measured proton radius estimate and the value based on QED differ by 5
standard deviations.

This is what the authors of the paper published in Nature say.

If verified, it is a serious problem for QED.

Get your information from the source. Put in some friggin effort!

Not from imbeciles like EG.

Name calling subtracts from one's credibility. There are many
here who esteem the thoughts of "EG". If you would like to
earn a similar level of regard, then please stick to the facts and
to your interpretations of those facts. Credibility is very tough
to gain and extremely easy to lose in an eyeblink !

They just jump up and down and screech at each other and eat the
