In article <1992Sep4.040504.3673@math.ucla.edu> barry@arnold.math.ucla.edu (Barry Merriman) writes: >All in all, an excellent example of my complaint: philosophers >who try (and fail) to apply the techniques of science and mathematics to >establish 'deep' philosophical truths. But isn't your own article an excellent illustration of the deep truth that many scientists 1) are extremely serious-minded people and have a tin ear for nuances in language, and 2) have an aversion to empirical investigations? >Do they ever send phil papers to real scientists to referee? This would make as much sense as sending scientific papers to real philosophers to referee.
