[Pallas- Saturn discussion] on:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/astrologyncgr/
> You've just written 6 totally unnecessary critical responses to a
> simple list of data that I posted for members on this group
> participating in a discussion about having a Pallas-Saturn aspect.
> The list of data was for anyone interested in that particular
> discussion.
> The list made no claims, and it certainly wasn't presented as a
> research project. Research needs to first have an hypothesis.
> No hypothesis was proposed. Lady X made an initial statement
> that she assigns the Pallas-Saturn conjunction to "pattern
> recognition." Others confirmed and responded with other aspects
> and personal examples of Pallas-Saturn. You have made statements
> at how you believe the delineation of Pallas-Saturn was
> fabricated,
> that asteroids don't interest you and that you don't use them. So,
> why are you now repeatedly criticizing a simple list of limited,
> well-defined data about something that doesn't interest you as
> though
> it were some research that held great im****tance to you? Most of
> the
> arguments that you're throwing at us are statements that I firmly
> believe and that were properly addressed in context of my data,
> which was not a research project.

> To address your points about research:
>
> Yes - having an initial hypothesis is following the Scientific
> Method
>
> Yes - sample size is critical
>
> Yes - accurate data is critical
>
> Yes - using a minimum number of viable and representative control
> groups is required
>
> Yes - a single planetary aspect cannot be the sole factor
>
> Yes - accurate models are made of hundreds of single aspects and
> other astrological events that all have a high, pre-determined,
> greater-than-chance statistical benchmark of occurring.
>
> Yes - findings must be able to be duplicated by other competent
> researchers
>
> However:
>
> No -- p value is not the one and only way of describing statistical
> results.
> As you well know, you've brought up this argument before, and there
> was a thorough and detailed discussion. If you wish to refresh

> No -- Jigsaw is not the ultimate, one-and-only research tool. For

RM: Gotcha Pete. I can take a hint. "Don't promote any research
software that is better than Alphee's flakey system on any
National GeoCosmic Research website.
