This is one of those cases of giving the appearance of science and technique without really following through. This is the same argument I have with "scientific" groups who never produce a report that has full data on what, when, and how data was collected and what that data was (in raw form) as well as conclusions.

You can pretty much find something to support your claim or belief if you look hard enough. But to draw a real conclusion you need to show the full range of data and how you arrived at the conclusion.

Certainly, if it was that important they should have provided all the data, if not on the show, then on the Web and told viewers where they could review the experiment.

I think we all know memory is susceptible to manipulation just from personal experience. Certainly, eyewitness testimony is the most unreliable in court because we don't see with our eyes but with our mind. However, if you are going to claim a scientific basis, then show the work.

Cullan:

You are so right, as usual.

That report was just a mess, and hardly scientific.

The show first aired years ago, and I have it on VHS.

Eyewitness testimony has its faults, but an accumulation of eyewitness accounts should provide a valid approximation of the truth.

The program you (and others) saw can be discounted, which you've rightfully done.

It is not the first tiome they have breezed through conclusions tailored to fit their view points. Sweeping statements based on evidence they expect us to trust they have...and evidence carefully selected to support their conclusions....
