Rationalist check-list:

Incorrect use of analogy? Check.
Pseudoscientific nonsense used to make your point seem more profound? Check.
Tortured use of probability estimates? Check.
Over-long description of a point that could just have easily been made in 1 sentence? Check.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
