Yes, of course we, as scientists have the obligation to publish our research,
however, how do you "screen" out someone, like Rushton (remember his eloquent
essay, for it can hardly be called research, on penile size and intelligence
across racial groups ?) for example, who basically creates a lot of "houpla"
in the scientific community, and probably more "harm" in the eyes of the
public, than good ?
Or, in the name of freedom of expression, anyone, no matter how "deranged",
or shouldn"t we even use this term, be able to express themselves and flood
us with pretty much useless info.
In my view, good science should,in the long run,be benefitial to the humanity,
because publishing for publishing sake, is not really worth much to me.

Just sharing a thought,
Monika
