RE: [RC] fitness parameters and science - heidi

I find it interesting that when Mr. Ivers does not like a conclusion, for
example: "Fitness levels in horses decline slower than in humans", he states
that one can not rely on studies of TB's since they are not fit or the study
did not look at enough parameters.

By the way, this post does not intend to state any opinion about the truth
of the above conclusions. It also does not intend to prove that Mr. Ivers
does not carefully evaluate the validity of the literature he cites. It just
points out that there seems to be some inconsistency in reasoning he gives
in some of his posts

Unfortunately, Mr. Ivers also does not carefully evaluate the validity
of studies, either, if they agree with what he would like to conclude. 
He continues to cite the so-called Bill Proctor studies--which were
quite thoroughly demonstrated to be a complete hoax.  

I, too, appreciate it when Mr. Ivers goes to the trouble to dig up the
scientific findings that many of us do not have time to pursue.  But as
with all things, small bits of science need to be taken in context with
the whole picture, and one must be wary of sources cited that are not
real sources.  But it does get tiresome mining the nuggets while
walking the minefield of the pure fantasy.
