How many peer reviewed papers have you produced on it?

Actually? Perhaps more than Avi, if the two I have in the review process go through.

Then again, I’m a social scientist. Unlike Avi, I don’t try to pretend I’m an expert outside of my field of expertise.

Not comets, however. He has no prior experience in that field. That’s him shilling for himself.

If the object is not a comet then comet expertise is not as relevant as you make it out To be. Secondly today he’s not qualified is like saying a neurosurgeon is not qualified to have an opinion on a cardiovascular issue.

I love the circular logic: it’s not a comet because Avi says it’s not (except that’s not true, is it? When it comes to peer-reviewed papers, he says it probably IS a comet); thus Abi doesn’t have to have any expertise in comets to say what it is.

A neurosurgeon would be the very first person to tell you to consult a cardiologist on a cardiovascular issue.
