Background

edit

Born 1958, trained chemical engineer; anonymous contributions starting with 2005 (20 years, 17 days ago), Wikipedian since April 2006 (18 years, 278 days ago), registered at en:WP in June 2008 (16 years, 226 days ago). As a professionally charged skeptic I try to follow:

Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.

— Karl Popper, Objective Knowledge: An Evolutionary Approach, 1972
