We will not be removing, or otherwise altering, anything within this historical reference. It's a dated source that used not to be widely available, and which we helped preserve.
*cracks neck and fingers* Time to give this a go.
I, as references to a book cannot be paraphrased or corrected, am requesting that additional information is added or that the clashing ones are not put there.
Some of those proofs hold a grain of truth, others are francium to water. Not so much muddying the waters as... I’ll let you google it.
I’ll try 3 ways for now and see how this goes. I want to start by saying I’m not smart, and intend only good towards the wiki as a whole.
1. I am assuming the book is preserved in the library. Why are these edited chunks also on the wiki?
2. These proofs are excerpts that may be lacking context. Thus the perceived clashes.
3. After a quick word from Pete, (putting the whole post for context, but it’s the last bit that’s important)
You fundamentally fail to understand the purpose of Zetetic inquiry. It doesn't matter how many people we claim to have completed the experiment, because you're not supposed to believe us. We're not here to persuade you.
The zeteticist in you may feel compelled to reproduce this experiment, or a similar one, for your own betterment and satisfaction. Not to convince us, not to painstakingly write it up for a peanut gallery of angry RE'ers/FE'ers, but for yourself.
As such, nothing in the Wiki can be Zetetic when you're reading it - it simply can't be. That's because you're reading about it, rather than performing it.
I am given to understand that nothing on the wiki is zetetic. Though written by a zetetic. The 100 proofs are, therefore, unnecessary. As they cannot prove anything to the satisfaction of a zetetic and also fall short of scientific. They make questions rather than answer them. They are a burden that need not be.
I hope one of those sticks, but am willing to keep at it.
If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
