Wrong question: so Abbott is right and the experts wrong
Friday, March 14, 2014 6:19
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
I detest arguments being put this way:
Tony Abbott or Ken Henry, Bernie Fraser and Ross Garnaut – who do you believe?
The proper response to any such question is not “I’ll go with the many against the one”. Were that your principle you would have sided with the 100 authors against Einstein:
Case in point: The book Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein (A Hundred Authors Against Einstein), a collection of various criticisms of Einstein’s theory of relativity. …
When asked about the book, Einstein retorted by saying “Why 100 authors? If I were wrong, then one would have been enough!”
