You're absolutely right to note the internal contradictions of parent's comment. They're both very certain and very uncertain at the same time.

However, is it not possible to observe that a clearly poor methodology can produce unreliable results in any field? And is it not possible that this may be such an instance?

Of course, I can agree that.

Can you agree however, that you can say "a clearly poor methodology" without ever showing whats "clearly poor" about a methodology in any field? Is it possible that this might be such an instance?

You're absolutely right! It's possible that a methodology can be described as poor without every showing what poor is in context.

It's possible that some might regard this as such a context, but I happen to be of the opinion that the original comment both noted a poor methodology and clearly showed what about it was poor.

You can happen to be of opinion about many things. But it didn't clearly note, or clearly show anything, as you have stated in your last comment. Its your opinion. And Its great that this is your opinion of course, but its not my opinion. That's why I commented.

Facts are not my opinion either. They are fact. Period. Facts usually get put in reports like this, not our opinion.

Not sure why you are wanting to flog a dead Horse on this mate, but flog away!
