Müller lite: Why Every Scientist Needs a Classical Training—Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | William M. Briggs

Müller lite: Why Every Scientist Needs a Classical Training—Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | William M. Briggs: "If Dr. Müller had had a Classical training, he would have been made familiar with the dozen logical fallacies first codified by Aristotle 2300 years ago. He would not have attempted to draw any firm scientific conclusions as to causality merely from a superficial and in any event inadequate and uncertain correlation; and still less from a monstrous argumentum ad ignorantiam. Perhaps it is time to ensure that every scientist receives a Classical training, as nearly all of them once did."
