Is it proper for a "scientist" to be seen with an advocacy group

[gejohnston]

18. that is not a false claim

Now you're doing that thing you always do... make false statements. We've been over this ground many times before, and so far you have come up with exactly zero substantive criticism of Hemenway's research or anyone else's research for that matter.

Really? What false statement is that? Check Joyce's website or Wikipedia. His chair is funded by Joyce. That is not false. What other falsehood are you accusing me of? Or are you back to making patronizing rants like in DU2 and then denying you made them? We are not talking about Kleck. My point was that advocacy research is not science. You use the example of the health advocacy groups like American Cancer Society. Did they fund research? Did they advocate based on research not funded by them or any similar organization?

Reading that DU post, I noticed you and Hemenway have similar writing styles. Actually, that thread has a couple of excellent critiques of Hemenway. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I'll just put the whole link.
