  6. They do occasional spot checks. I don't know anyone who has been caught but there are always stories about "the Guardia di Finanza were here the other day and caught so-and-so ..."
  7. In the past, I gather there was reluctance to publish methods because there was competition for support from wealthy patrons. So mathematicians felt they had to produce exciting results without giving away too much about how they got there. Is this obscurity restricted to mathematics? There seems to be a general resistance to plain English in academic writing - from some reviewers, publishers and even readers. "It was determined from the research protocols outlined outlined in this paper that ..." = "We found ..." Some people feel that it doesn't sound"serious" enough unless it is hard to read.

  14. I apologise. I went back and checked. I misread what you said.
  15. That doesn't say he accepted god before he died as you claimed
  16. Start another thread of you want to discuss your ignorance of science
  17. It has been known for about 100 years and proved for about 40. Now stop bringing erroneous and irrelevant pseudo scientific claims into this
  18. Stop dragging your ignorance of science into this
  19. I don't really care how many gods you believers think there are, I don't believe in any of them! (And your grasp on logic seems rather poor there)
