You missed the point. Peer-review groups and other communitarian aspects of the global scientific community must use social science - soft science. The methodology is either hard science or soft science. It is soft science, social science. This is only one example of how the science community depends upon social science to communicate an prove research.
From: spudnik on 15 Jul 2010 20:36 how about this (sorry, couldn't excerpt the PDF): http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Translations/Kepler_Aristotle.pdf > What do you mean about getting book learning? thus: anyway, this is the sum-total of the Bush and Obama policy for energy, which should be called, Free-er Trade, although referred to as Captain Tax by Murdoch's Climategateways, the WSurinal etc.... surely, it'll work, as apparently Waxman's bill of '91 worked for acid rain; so, Where's the beef on that? the OP's citation seems to assume that cap&trade is the way to go, whereas I have at least two sources that admitted that good effect could be achieved by an actual, small, accountable tax on carbon, instead of this "free trade" nostrum, which is already huge in the USA (CCX and ICE e.g.; tens of bllions in hedging per year, since 2003 and 2005, repsectively), but dwarfed by the mandatory EU one. Waxman's bill, just like his '91 bill, just like Kyoto, presaged by Montreal, mandatorizes the voluntary system. however, the main problem is the incoming "reform" bill, which is a total sop to the derivatives freaks that causes the current blow-out. --the Queen of the sciences! http://wlym.com --les ducs d'oil! http://tarpley.net

They appoint persons within their field to review the work - for better or worse, and in the case of mathematics it is critical to seek the very best. They do not pull out some tome or rules of social science to make their decision regarding the peers they choose. Get over it. You don't know what you are writing about.

Very often they are better at soft science than those who have studied soft science.

Why would that be necessary? Pavlov's dog could do a lot of "soft" science. Bret Cahill |
