Bari: Not as impressed with Peter Thiel as you are!

His "not at all" response to your question on whether he is worried that Trump has burned through the A,B, and C lists, Thiel messed up big time! It appears that Trump is now reaching out to the Z-list.

On the issue of scientists losing healthy skepticism, it turns out that in physics a result is not deem a discovery until it hits the "5-sigma" mark. That is, in order to claim a discovery, there is only a 1 in 3.5 million chance that the observed result is due to random fluctuations rather than a real effect. I hope that Thiel demands similar standards on "vaccines causing autism".
