Fair enough. And I named some of the people I talked to. Didn't know I ( and I alone) had to present a list of credentials. And then, whaddayaknow, you don't even know some of these quite esteemed scientists... So what does that prove? Nothing.
I'll be honest with you, I thought the whole thing was a lie, so I wanted to make you at least come up with something.
I'd say its fair that I don't know a whole lot of scientists outside of my area of research, as it is fair that I could hit you with a bunch of names of prominent attention/vision scientists that you would have never heard of. The celebrity power of science is lacking.

lol, you aren't stupid. You have to realize when you open your mouth around a group of people who agree with each other, they will probably be more interested in making you look the fool than themselves.
I agree, in general, with what Bardock and Adam_PoE say, so clearly I'm going to be less motivated to fact check everything that comes out of their mouth. And again, I wouldn't normally do that, aside for the fact that I didn't think you actually had spoken to any scientists.
Having interviewed people for documentaries or having had conversations with them is an incredibly valid source, do not worry, I don't think anyone is against that. Actually, I am generally interested in your documentaries now, lol
