Texas Method ID stalling

[Robert Santana]

The reports of untrained people gaining more than 0.3672lb/week of muscle mass DO NOT exist in science, therefore it is impossible to gain more than 0.3672lb/week of lean body mass.

This is the standpoint from which they are arguing with you Rip. But you already know that.

It exists in science, not in professional research.

[Mark Rippetoe]

"Professional Research" and Science being two completely separate things that kids on the internet cannot tease apart, they always default to the citation count instead of thinking through the problem, and then say that Science is what they're doing. It's kinda like the climate change deal: people have been told that Science has something to do with consensus by the right people so many times that if you dare to say, "Hang on here, there is a problem with the 'data' and this bizarre extrapolation and the models that don't predict anything accurately and the funding and the review process and the publication history and the methodology and the actual facts that the right people like right now" that you are suddenly a Science Denier, which is almost as bad as being a Holocaust Denier (illegal in Austria).

'illegal in Austria' - had a good laugh at this.
