Howard Vlieger, GMO's

Howard Vlieger is going to be speaking tomorrow in the Yreka area. Has there been a thread on his work already. I'm not sure whether it is worth going to.
 
He helped to fiance and host the discredited Carmen 'study'.

It seems that the pigs in the 'study' were not even in good health.

The case against, in brief: this study tested something like 20 different things and found one result at 95% confidence or whatever... this is, in short, a statistical fishing trip. Test enough things at random and you'll score one hit by chance. XKCD has a great comic about this:http://xkcd.com/882/


There are other problems with this study, of course.


I am sure that there is more on him at GMO Skepti-Forum (it is an open FB group) and https://www.facebook.com/groups/GMOLOL/
