Credibility, Schredability!

[plissaman]

Wot is this Thing called "Credibility"?  How measured?   And where listed?

Ya want "credibility", go join the American Physical Society.  Pay yer dues ($186 p.a., college degree not required) and you will be a member, in good standing, of a credible organization; they will publish your stuff, if it cleaves to the current dogmas.   But, remember, over their vociferous objections, Dick Feynman resigned from APS on the grounds that he did not fit into their measure of a "credible physicist".

I count myself a pretty ignorant bum, of parlous little  knowledge in most everything.  But I have never learned anything, cultural, literary or scientific from any Friam postings.  I take them to be appealing examples of polysyllabic humor, oftentimes quite delightful.  And not to be denigrated.  Since Aristophanes, comedy has been an honored component of world culture.

And, fer Gawd's Sake, don't think of censoring contributions.  I greatly enjoy Nick and Rich.  They represent the epitome of the Friam Point of View!

Expertise is not knowing everything, but knowing what to look for.
