Liz Ditz, who has often identified instances of bologna masquerading a fine cuisine, has posted notes about the Woo Handbook, a product of Skeptico. Check out her recent entry, “Just in Time: The Woo Handbook and The Woo-Woo Credo”
Skeptico apparently has found a guide to countering scientific thinking. Skeptico suggests that those engaging in debate on matters where some shreds of scientific evidence and reason might be relevant. Before listing 20 tactics to use in debate, Skeptico suggests that one be careful when engaging in the fray.
Before you start though, you should remember that skeptics have many things on their side. Things like evidence, facts, logic. But don’t despair. If you follow the techniques described below it may seem like you have a valid argument more often that you would imagine, given your actual lack of knowledge, evidence or facts. Good luck, and I’m visualizing your success.
