Braced myths are a sub-type of supermyth, created by orthodox expert authorities that are so powerful they are believed to be true by respected scholars who unwittingly promote them as examples of the need to be healthily sceptical of counterknowledge and then, with unintended irony, use them as argument winners to refute other fallacious knowledge.Dysologyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03470745701780667870noreply@blogger.comBlogger104125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642651936759877665.post-73151228868683797922023-11-11T01:49:00.001-08:002023-11-12T01:27:28.986-08:00The Spinach decimal Point error mythbust now in the BMJ<p> My busting of the Spinach decimal point error myth is now positively cited in a 2023 BMJ article (Burden of proof: combating inaccurate citation in biomedical literatureBMJ 2023; 383 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj-2023-076441 (Published 06 November 2023)</p><p>I am delighted to see the importance of the Spinach Supermyth, which I (Dr Mike Sutton) discovered in 2009, is now positively affirmed as a problem in the British medical Journal in 2023.

Why on Earth would they do such a thing? Perhaps the answer is because the newly discovered facts of my research are simply too painful to bear and the New Data from my research so valuable they couldn't resist stealing it? And as a world-renowned expert (</span><a href="https://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780195396607/obo-9780195396607-0219.xml" style="color: #4d469c; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">published by OUP no less</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">) on stolen goods markets I think that criminal fence analogy is most fitting. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">In their respective papers, in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society Dr Weal and Dr Dagg do the following:<o:p></o:p></p><ol start="1" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-top: 0cm;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">They plagiarise one of my important research findings, under every widely accepted definition of what constitutes research plagiarism.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">They cherry-pick plagiarised it and so conceal from their readership the other data in my list, which undermines the arguments they make.

Cherry pick plagiarising the findings of another is surely equally, or more, serious.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Dr Dagg committed this plagiarism maliciously, which is proven by his own blog posts on both me and my finding that he has plagiarised; comments he published before and after he plagiarised it.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Because the research finding Dr Weale and Dr Dagg plagiarised could only ever have been found with my IDD research method (Sutton 2014b, Sutton and Griffith 2018), they also, in effect, plagiarise that original research method.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">Read on to learn the full story, with all the independently verifiable facts and sources, of the most ironic plagiarism in the history of science.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">References<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">Dagg, J.

That irony being my research into the history of plagiarism of the theory of evolution by natural selection, the theory first published by the Scot Patrick Matthew, has been most seriously plagiarised by two authors, in two separate papers in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, which effectively seek to argue that Darwin and Wallace did not plagiarise Matthew’s theory in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society in 1858, of which the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society is a direct descendant. On which note, as (Iphofen 2017) poignantly writes about my peer reviewed research on plagiarism:</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">'...<span style="font-style: italic;">we must guard against the temptation to corrupt practices that many see as undermining scientific integrity. These include <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">plagiarism, failure to acknowledge prior-work, biased peer-reviewing, and, in effect, poorly constructed desk or secondary research</span>. Of course, there is nothing new in such discreditable activities. Sutton (2014) offers evidence that Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace clearly plagiarised the earlier ideas of Patrick Matthew without sufficient acknowledgment and Darwin then used his elite connections to ensure he would not be scooped by Wallace</span>.'

Those other findings independently, and as a collective weight of evidence, can be understood to disconfirm the arguments the plagiarisers make using the one finding they plagiarised.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">The fact that only one of my high quality research findings has been plagiarised cannot ethically, rationally, or reasonably – in accordance with all guidance, rules and regulations on research plagiarism – be used as a guilt neutralisation excuse by the plagiarisers, Editor or OUP. This is a most important point, that I cannot emphasize enough, because the fact that only one of my findings has been plagiarised means three things (a) as in point 3 above, readers have been misled by deliberate cherry picking from my research findings, (b) high quality (not quantity) research findings plagiarism is the serious issue here (c) not dealing appropriately with this example of serious repeat plagiarism of my research will effectively give the authors and others a perceived licence to do the same with that and many more future illicit “use of one single research finding plagiarism” from my research and from the research of others in future OUP publications and elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">The fact the same finding first plagiarised by Dr Weale has been repeat plagiarised by Dr Dagg, in the very same journal, is proof of the high value of that finding and also strongly suggests that unless this plagiarism is dealt with appropriately, repeat victimisation by plagiarism will multiply even further by the same or by other authors in the same journal and or in other publications.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">The plagiarism is deliberate, because both authors are proven to have prior read and prior-published their knowledge of my research and that finding in it. What they each publish on their own blog sites about my research before they plagiarised it is independently verifiable evidence of their prior knowledge of that finding. Both Dr Weale and Dr Dagg clearly took that finding directly from my original prior-published research with no reference to the research they took it from. That is serious research plagiarism under any definition.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">It is my considered belief that in plagiarising my research in the way they have, given the weight of the independently verifiable evidence presented in this victim statement, both Dr Weale and Dr Dagg have committed serious academic science fraud by deliberate cherry-picking plagiarism of my research.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">In the case of Dr Dagg, what the has written in his reviews of my books and his own blog posts about me and my research, published before he plagiarised my research, and after, confirm his plagiarism is malicious.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">The research that has been plagiarised was conducted in 2013-2014, when I was employed as Reader in Criminology at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). NTU published a press brief on the research (see Nottingham Trent University 2014).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">The plagiarised research is by no means of minor significance. My research findings have been reported in many newspapers and other publications, including national newspapers: The Daily Telegraph (2014) and the Daily Mail [Scotland Edition] (Caven 2014) and The Scotsman (newsroom 2016).<o:p></o:p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #959595; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: inherit; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none !important;"><span class="mobile-undersized-upper" style="box-sizing: inherit; overflow-wrap: inherit; text-size-adjust: none !important;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;">The ‘Selby cited Matthew in 1842’ original finding from my research is not yet common knowledge. Yet that exact research finding has been cherry-picked plagiarised from my larger list of those newly discovered, in my research, to have cited Matthew (1831). To be clear, my research finding has been plagiarised. It has been repeatedly plagiarised, because it has been published in two different articles in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. My Selby finding was taken from a larger list of my research findings, of writers I newly discovered cited Patrick Matthew’s (1831) book pre-1858, without credit to the source of my research that originally uncovered and first published it. In fact, it was used with no credit to me whatsoever. That is serious intellectual property theft of my research finding and the method used to make the finding.<o:p></o:p></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span class="mobile-undersized-upper" style="box-sizing: inherit; overflow-wrap: inherit; text-size-adjust: none !important;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; overflow-wrap: inherit; text-size-adjust: none !important;"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Further detailed background information <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">In July 2020, I provided the full details of the plagiarism of my research, by Dr Weale and Dr Dagg, to the Chief Editor of the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society John Allen.

I also sent the original publication details of my research, thus proving its provenance and that is has, therefore been plagiarised.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">John Allen replied to me by claiming that use of this key and important original research finding without referencing the prior-published research that the plagiarist took it from is not research plagiarism. His is response in this regard is not only highly inappropriate but also totally unacceptable.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Moreover, I think John Allen’s stated belief is surely, patently, and profoundly wrong and out of line with all accepted, definitions of what amounts to research plagiarism, as opposed to merely copying text. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The length and occasional repetition in this victim statement will hopefully ensure that those now also in receipt of the same independently verifiable evidence provided herein may be left in no reasonable doubt that serious repeat research plagiarism has occurred and will understand its serious nature, consequences, impact on me as the victim and the need to act accordingly with integrity before the same or other authors further plagiarise my research and further subvert the historic publication record.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have never felt the need to complain officially about plagiarism of my research before and I am shocked by the response I have received. To date, I am extremely disappointed with the behaviour of The Editor of the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b><b>What, exactly, has been plagiarised?</b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Firstly, the research plagiarised is the relatively newly uncovered fact, uncovered by my research, (e.g. Sutton 2014, 2014a, 2015, 2017b) that the naturalist Selby (1842) cited the recognised member of the Scottish Enlightenment, botanist, agriculturalist, famous fruit hybridiser and forester, Patrick Matthew (1831) in 1842. Secondly, this plagiarism includes plagiarising the newly unearthed title and full reference for the book in which, my research discovered, Selby (1842) cited Matthew (1831). Thirdly, by default, the plagiarism includes plagiarising my unique research method (see Sutton 2014b and particularly Sutton and Griffiths 2018 for full details of the method) used to find this important new data in the historic publication record in the field of the history of scientific discovery. Fourthly, by cherry-pick plagiarising just one finding from my research, Dr Weale and Dr Dagg have engaged in misleading science fraud by concealing the other evidence in my research that can be used to dis-confirm the argument they make in their papers.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">To emphasise by repeating the above point, plagiarism of my ‘Selby cited Matthew in 1842’ original research finding also seriously plagiarises the unique research method I developed and employed to find it. Namely, the Internet Date Detection, Big Data, research method (see Sutton 2014b and Sutton and Griffiths 2018 to see our detailed peer reviewed article on the method). Unless you were to know in advance that Selby’s book cited Matthew’s book, which is something no known writer has ever mentioned before, and so search on Selby or the title of his book, no other method tried before or since was able to detect the fact it did. Therefore, to understand and appreciate the seriousness of the repeat plagiarism of my research, it is imperative to understand that without use of the IDD research method the ‘Selby cited Matthew (1832) in 1842’ finding, could not, and arguably never would have been found by future researchers in this field. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Pertinent contextual historical facts of the area of research: Understanding the value of the finding that has been repeat plagiarised:</b><br /><o:p></o:p></p><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0cm 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px 2.5em;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Matthew’s (1831) book is accepted by the world’s leading experts on the topic (e.g. by de Beer 1962, Mayr 1982, Dawkins 2010, Darwin 1861, and Wallace 1879) as containing the first fully published theory of evolution by natural selection.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Professor Loren Eiseley (1859) wrote a festschrift book on Darwin. Later he discovered that Darwin had, in his private essay of 1844, replicated Matthew’s (1831) highly idiosyncratic forester’s explanatory analogy of differences between trees selected by nature, growing in the wild, and those selected and raised artificially in nurseries. That one key research finding absolutely convinced Eiseley that his hero had committed plagiarising science fraud of Matthew’s prior published theory (Eiseley 1979). For my own part, having first used my IDD research method to surprisingly debunk a number of facts about who coined what term, phrase or concept, I used it to research the process of natural selection and the term and concept Selfish Gene in the expectancy that at least my science hero’s Darwin and Dawkins should be rightfully attributed with their claims to science fame. As my paper with Professor Mark Griffiths (Sutton and Griffiths 2018) proves, I was wrong about Dawkins. As my books and peer reviewed articles on Darwin Wallace and Matthew reveal, it surprisingly turned out I was also surely wrong about Darwin too (Sutton 2014b).<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Prior to my research (e.g. Sutton, 2014, 2015, 2018) expert knowledge had it (e.g. de Beer 1962, Mayr 1982) that no one whatsoever/no naturalist and certainly no one in Darwin or Wallace’s circles had read Patrick Matthew’s (1831) published theory of what he called the “natural process of selection” before Darwin and Wallace supposedly independently replicated it in The Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society (1858) and Darwin’s Origin of Species (1858), where Darwin named it the “process of natural selection” and replicated many of Matthew’s unique explanatory analogies of difference and other highly idiosyncratic yet key explanatory examples of the theory. In reply to Matthew’s (1860) published letter claiming his priority, Darwin (1860) claimed to have independently discovered the theory. He went further to claim, ‘no single person’ (Darwin 1861a) and elsewhere ‘no naturalist’ (Darwin 1861) had read Matthew’s prior published breakthrough before publication of the origin of Species in 1859. That was a total knowing falsehood, a blatant lie if you will. Because Matthew (1860) had already informed him otherwise and told him of Loudon’s book review and of an unnamed Scottish naturalist who had read it and feared to teach it for fear of pillory punishment for heresy. Wallace kept silent on the matter and so effectively claimed innocence on the question of his prior knowledge of Matthew’s prior-published breakthrough. Later, however, Wallace (1879) wrote that Matthew was one of the greatest thinkers in the first half of the 19<sup>th</sup> century and did originate the theory he and Darwin replicated (Wallace 1879), and more besides.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">As said, the naturalist Loudon, who was editor of the Magazine of Natural History, had read Matthew’s book. He reviewed it in 1832 and wrote that Matthew appeared to have something important to say on what he termed “the origin of species”, no less. Dempster (1983, 1996, 2005) pointed it out in his important research in the field, but the fact Loudon was editor of a famous naturalist magazine, was a naturalist known to Darwin and his inner circle, and published two papers by Darwin’s prolific correspondent on species, Blyth (1835, 1836) was seemingly unknown by other experts on the topic. It has, therefore, been generally ignored in most of the academic literature on Darwin apart from mention in the important published research by Dempster. Eiseley (1979), did however produce convincing evidence that Darwin (1858, 1859) had plagiarised important ideas on evolution of varieties from Blyth.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">I have a list of over 25 people newly proven by my 2014, 2018 research to have cited Matthew’s (1831) book. Seven were naturalists, four of those seven were known to Darwin pre 1858. Three of those four (including the valuable, dual plagiarised, Selby discovery) played major roles at the epicentre of influence on Darwin and Wallace pre-1858, on their influencers and their influencer’s influencers. The Selby (1842) cited Matthew discovery from that list, uniquely discovered by my research, is among the most important in the new data on this topic. As my book (Sutton 2014, 2016) and peer reviewed article on this topic (Sutton 2015) emphasise, Darwin’s father was a houseguest of Selby, as were other naturalists known to Darwin and Darwin’s inner circle. Selby’s great friend was Jenyns, who was Darwin’s friend and most prolific correspondent (on Selby’s friendship with Darwin’s father and Jenyns see Jackson 1992). Importantly, as my prior published research (e.g. Sutton 2014, 2014a, 2015, 2017b) reveals, Selby was, at the time it was published, editor of the Journal that published Wallace’s (1855) famous Sarawak paper on evolution, which Darwin read pre-1858.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">The above facts prove why the newly unearthed Selby data from my research is of high quality and is very important when it comes to the question of whether Darwin read Matthew pre 1858 and whether Wallace read Matthew pre 1858.</li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><b>What is plagiarism, particularly research findings plagiarism?</b></p><p class="MsoNormal">The University of Oxford (2020) provides us with arguably the world’s most famous definition of what constitutes plagiarism (my emphasis):<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">"Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition."</p><p class="MsoNormal">The article by Dr Weale and the article by Dr Dagg each use my prior published Selby data without any acknowledgement whatsoever to where they found it. So how is that not plagiarism?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Where research findings are used without reference to where they originated then that is defined as citation plagiarism, which is a sub-type of research plagiarism. That is what Dr Weale and Dr Dagg did in their respective articles in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Citation plagiarism may occur through careless attitudes towards citation (Saunders 2010) or it may occur through an act of what Allen (2007) calls ‘blatant plagiarism’, which is done with an aim to steal the research finding in order to deceive others by taking credit for it. However, it seems reasonable to assume that in other cases citation plagiarism may be motivated or by a sole or perhaps additional wish not to reference the original source of the research finding due to professional embarrassment, malice, jealousy or some other pseudo-scholarly ulterior motive. In that case the motivation may be to have the finding wrongly perceived as something widely known and not attributable to anyone. In some cases, perhaps citation plagiarism is motivated by the plagiariser’s perceptions of academic discipline rivalry that may involve trying to double-guess readership, peer review and editorial arrogance, personal dislike of the victim, their research findings, their interpretation of those findings and conclusions, or individual and disciplinary jealously regarding the discovery of the data they decided to plagiarise.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Plagiarising a research finding can also constitute ‘research method plagiarism’ if the method used to make that finding is original, because if only that original method could make the finding the plagiarist will also, by default, most certainly plagiarise the method used to find it. As explained above, that is the case in the plagiarism of my Selby cited Matthew pre-1858 finding. By plagiarising that research finding, both Dr Weale and Dr Dagg have by default plagiarised the unique Big Data Internet Date Detection research method (Sutton and Griffiths 2018) used to find it. Independent expert peer reviewers of that peer reviewed article I wrote with Professor Griffith’s agreed the unique IDD method is a new Big Data research method that has been used in my research to make significant research findings of this kind.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">'The term plagiarism derives from the Latin word “plagiarius,” meaning “kidnapper” or “abductor.” Although plagiarism is difficult to define in few words, it can be viewed as the stealing of another person's ideas, <u>methods, results</u>, or words without giving proper attribution…. The ORI defines plagiarism as being “theft or misappropriation of intellectual property and the substantial unattributed textual copying of another's work.”… The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), UK, has defined plagiarism as “the unreferenced use of others published and unpublished ideas.” (Juyal, D., Thawani, V., & Thaledi, S. 2015). (My emphasis).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The fact Dr Weale’s and Dr Dagg’s plagiarism of my research is subtle does not make it any less serious. Arguably it makes it more serious because it is so deceptive. This is something that the Editor of the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society seems to know or care nothing about. As Dougherty (2020. p.1) explains:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">“<i>I have requested retractions of 125 published articles in humanities fields in recent years. A large portion of these articles exhibited very subtle forms of plagiarism. … When undetected plagiarising articles produce widespread inefficiencies in the wider system of knowledge production, not only are researchers denied credit for their discoveries, but plagiarizing articles take up space in journals that should have been reserved for articles for authentic researchers</i>.”</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Quality not quantity<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">It is most important to repeat another point already made, in order to emphasise the fact, that the plagiarism of my research by Dr Weale and Dr Dagg is not an issue of a quantity being plagiarised, it is about the quality of what has been plagiarised. It is also about the insidious subtlety in which that was deliberately done and the malice behind it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Selby data, uncovered by my research, that has been plagiarised is not only relatively new, it is also highly significant and of extremely high quality in the specific field of research into the history of scientific discovery and scientific plagiarism of breakthroughs in knowledge and prior-published research findings of others. On the issue of whether Darwin and Wallace plagiarised Matthew, it is highly significant, important and new.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">As explained above, the Selby cited Matthew in 1842 discovery provides clear evidence of the existence of a previously totally unknown route for potential ‘Matthew to Darwin and Wallace’ knowledge contamination (Sutton 2015) of both Darwin and Wallace and their subsequent publications. Such potential knowledge transmission, in whole or part, could have occurred directly or in some way via others known to Selby, Darwin and Wallace. Others including but not limited to Darwin’s father (who was Selby’s friend) or Darwin’s and Selby’s mutual friend Jenyns.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">“…whether or not one article plagiarises another may turn on a judgement of the<u> originality</u> of the interpretation of scientific experiment or a<u> data set</u>.” (Saunders, 2010). (My emphasis)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">"...plagiarism (in principle) can consist in as little as <u>one word</u>, while there are many standard sentences describing research methods that will not be plagiarism even if, in fact, copied from someone else. This is to say that the unmarked reuse of some very short passages might be plagiarism, even though the reuse of other equally short passages would not. The conclusion to draw from this is that <u>plagiarism has to do with quality rather than quantity</u> – or, more precisely, with what is unique rather than so common that it <u>cannot be attributed to anyone</u>." (Helgesson and Eriksson (2015). (My emphasis).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The verifiable fact the unique Selby data from my research has been twice plagiarised in the Biological Journal of the Linnean society is clear proof of the high quality and importance of the research that has been plagiarised. Surely it was plagiarised twice precisely because it is such a valuable newly discovered fact that Selby read and cited Matthew’s book before Darwin or Wallace penned a word on the topic of evolution by natural selection. What other reason could there be?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The fact the unique Selby Data has been plagiarised a second time in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society is proof that the scientific record in the history of science has been corrupted with one incident of plagiarism leading to another and needs, therefore, to be rectified before further incidents occur to corrupt the publication record in the history of scientific discovery and research into priority and plagiarism.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Engaging in the subterfuge of cherry picking one author from my prior published original research findings (Sutton 2014, 2017b), of who I newly discovered did cite Matthew (1831) pre 1858, to effectively make deceptive fact concealment arguments when examining the evidence for routes of potential knowledge contamination (transmission) from Matthew’s (1831) book to the later published works of Darwin, Wallace and others is misleading the scientific community.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Using my Selby research finding without citation to the research and method that uncovered it, in order to make the argument, as Dr Weale and Dr Dagg do, that no naturalist understood Matthew’s theory, is, in my opinion, engaging in science fraud not only by plagiary but highly deliberate deceptive cherry picking. Because, by way of just one relevant example among many others I found in my research, that I could use here, I also originally unearthed the fact that Jameson (1853) cited Matthew’s 1831 book and observations in it. Jameson was the nephew of Darwin’s Edinburgh Professor, employee of the East India Company and regular pre-1858 correspondent of William Hooker (father of Darwin’s best friend and botanical mentor Joseph Hooker). William Hooker, also a friend of Darwin, was sponsor, mentor, customer for his ‘collected’ wildlife and correspondent of Wallace. All pre-1858. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Jameson (1853) cited Matthew and wrote about one area of Matthew’s book on how some species of tree may sometimes fare better when transplanted outside their native areas. Jameson reveals that he fully understood the importance of Matthew’s observation for economic botany. The devout Christian gentleman scientist Selby, on the other hand, was writing in 1842, at a time when such an idea was deemed far more unacceptably heretical to Christians who believed their God designed nature and put everything where it was most ideally and best suited to serve the interests of humans above all else. Most importantly, that idea, and other heretical for Christians ideas, in Matthew’s book, was also mentioned in a major book review of 1831 in the United Services Journal, which instructed readers to not even to dare think about such ideas. And Jameson is just one example of the newly discovered to have cited Matthew (1831) authors in my research findings that Dr Weal’s and Dr Dagg’s cherry picking research findings plagiarism effectively, and misleadingly, conceal by failing to cite the source of the Selby cited Matthew pre-1858 discovery.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">To emphasise the point just made, plagiarising from my list of those newly discovered by the IDD method to have cited Matthew (1831) pre-1858, (As Dr Weale and Dr Dagg have done) not only plagiarises the IDD method as well as my data, it also most seriously, effectively fraudulently in my opinion, hides not only the other findings in my research but also hides the power of that method by failing to acknowledge just how many authors (including naturalists) in fact did read Matthew’s bombshell theory, how many were linked to Darwin and Wallace, and in what way.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcQJsq2ZyWoI6Jy_laLkn00H0IBdg2-dvtz0MOjrJhMjJpus-yC-Mw6YLLDbdXGsLtS_GBaFK5Gjy2FEBUrjsaZCOiS1c1eOrsXqOz68YhUk-8XOyG5aqeHWm8wFdTndNgfo4a05sS4Gc/s950/List+1+on+the+Kindle.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="496" data-original-width="950" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcQJsq2ZyWoI6Jy_laLkn00H0IBdg2-dvtz0MOjrJhMjJpus-yC-Mw6YLLDbdXGsLtS_GBaFK5Gjy2FEBUrjsaZCOiS1c1eOrsXqOz68YhUk-8XOyG5aqeHWm8wFdTndNgfo4a05sS4Gc/s640/List+1+on+the+Kindle.png" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 17px;">The image above is from Sutton (2014) and shows Selby in the list of 25 people newly discovered in my research to have cited Matthew’s (1831) book before 1858<b><o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 17px;"><b>Evidence of prior knowledge and malicious intent regarding plagiarism of my research.<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 17px;">In light alone of the facts presented above, my research has been plagiarised in two articles in the Biological Journal Linnean Society, as has the unique research method used. But this plagiarism is worse. Firstly, it has taken place at a relatively very early stage following the publication of my research findings. That greatly increases the chances that my research findings will be misattributed to either Dr Weale, Dr Dagg or both. Worse still is the independently verifiable evidence that Dr Dagg plagiarised my research maliciously. That evidence now follows:<br /><o:p></o:p></p><ul style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0cm 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px 2.5em;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Dr Weale (2015b) read my prior published research and mentions in his article in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society some online debates he has had with me on it before failing to cite the source of the Selby discovery in that article. Dr Weale explains (using my research without attribution) that Selby cited Matthew in 1842 and Weale cites Selby’s book, in which Selby did so, in his references section (again without attribution to my research that found it). Clearly then, Dr Weale fails to attribute that new ‘Selby cited Matthew pre-1858’ discovery to my research. But that newly unearthed fact from my research, unlike the fact that Loudon reviewed Matthew’s book knowledge, cannot be attributed to “just anyone”. Arguably, Dr Weale is, if not deliberately falsely passing it off as his own discovery, though giving that impression by default to some readers, is also effectively portraying it falsely in his article to be perceived by other readers as something widely known. The Selby finding from my research is certainly at great risk now of being wrongly attributed to Weale, or else falsely as something that was widely known to anyone, as it might well be in the near future, if Dr Weale’s research plagiarism of this high quality research finding and associated research method plagiarism is not correctly remedied by the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Dr Dagg (2018a) writes that Dr Weale helped him extensively with his article. Given the fact Dr Weale earlier plagiarised my research in his own article and then helped another to publish an article that does the very same thing is powerful confirmatory circumstantial evidence that Dr Weale deliberately plagiarised my research in his article in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society. This supports the point made in the last sentence of the preceding bullet point, directly above.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Dr Dagg, (2017) writing as “Joda” but signing his malicious review of my book (Sutton 2017b), which contains the Selby discovery, with his real name also proves by so doing that he read my prior published research, including the Selby discovery, before failing to cite the source of that research finding in his article. Dagg, therefore also commits knowing research findings and research method plagiarism in his article, of the same kind as Dr Weale.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0.25em 0px;">Dr Dagg (e.g. 2014) has published various malicious blog posts about me, before he plagiarised my research and has written and published more malicious blog posts about that research he plagiarised after he plagiarised it.

It was plainly stupid advice to many people hearing and reading it at the time, including myself and my family and friends. Like other so called experts Fauci would later change his mind completely. Here he is before he did so, making stupid assumptions that everyone wearing a mask is stupid and that by doing so they will in some way, unexplained, create a shortage of masks for others who he weirdly thinks need them more.</p><p>

.
During the 2020 Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, scientific and medical advisers to the UK Government took the myth that face masks of any kind do not provide the wearer, if a member of the general public in a public/semi-public place, with any useful protection against a virus and added to it a new myth that they would be more likely to become infected and to infect others through the act of wearing a mask in public and semi public places. In this blog post you will see the video and newspaper, journal and peer reviewed journal article evidence for the creation, dissemination and busting of the lethal Masks Supermyth.</p><p>They all asserted repeatedly on TV that masks don't work.

Many thousands of lives have been lost. If masks work today to stop the spread of Covid19 then they also worked months ago!<br />

<br />
March 4th 2020, Chief Medical Officer, and top "expert" government adviser on the Covid19 pandemic, <b>Chris Whitty</b>, says the general public should not wear masks (<a href="http://archive.is/EDFjo">Here</a>) .<br />
<br />
Maybe that is because Whitty oddly thinks face mask wearing will somehow uniquely turn us into idiots who won't also wash our hands or properly keep the correct social distance anymore?<br />
<br />
Whitty is on record on 4th March saying that masks will not provide protection against the virus, but does not explain why that should be his thinking given that the virus is spread by coughed or sneezed water droplets. Logic suggests masks will reduce the volume and trajectory of infected droplets. Given that many spreaders and super spreaders are asymptomatic. Compulsory masks for all would prevent them spreading the virus. So what on Earth is Whitty talking about?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A supermyth is a myth that is compounded by further myths about that myth</span> (see the <a href="https://supermyths.com/">supermyths website</a>)<br />
<br />
So here we see the beginning of the supermyth that masks don't work against Covid-19 - as others (on film below) such as Whitty's deputy, Jenny Harries, add to the masks don't work myth with another myth (to compound the original myth) that the general UK public wearing masks in public places start acting stupidly with them, doing things like wiping infected masks over surfaces. And further myths added by scientific advisers that mask wearers think masks are to sole solution to the pandemic.<br />
<br />
11th March 2020 The Deputy Chief Medical Officer telling Boris and the rest of us the barking mad nonsense the public would wipe infected face masks over surfaces - but its OK for us all to attend mass public events in this pandemic! <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Read an excellent paper on why masks worn by the general public should have been made compulsory right from the start: Face masks for the public during the covid-19 crisis
BMJ 2020; 369 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m1435 (Published 09 April 2020) See:<a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1435">https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1435 </a>
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And, based on scientific experiment - <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/05/14/here-is-more-evidence-for-face-mask-use-with-covid-19-coronavirus/#4d8a45cb1060">here is another good article</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">By contrast, <a href="https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-1342">here is one</a> beloved by anti-maskers based on people in a lab experiment only wearing a medical grade mask or a flimsy cotton mask coughing into a petri dish from a couple of inches away. Yet the authors of the article admit they did not measure either the volume or trajectory of infected water droplets by mask wearers versus non mask wearers. Moreover, where the hell do members of the general public obtain these flimsy disposable medical grade masks? And who thinks flimsy cotton masks are the number 1. choice of the public? For all they know a scarf wrapped around the face, a way thicker DIY anti dust mask or ski mask, anti pollution mask, works better. Anyway, it's well worth a read.</span><br />
<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">If masks work on 11th May to reduce the spread of Covid19 and reduce the dreadful death toll then they worked 2 months ago when the three so called "experts" below were creating and spreading the deadly Mask Supermyth!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The so-called "experts" advising the UK Government made up a myth by telling them and the public a made-up story that if they wore masks they would only be doing so in the erroneous belief that a mask on the face renders the wearer immune from infection and so they would stop hand washing and social distancing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The correct message should have been that because Covid19 is often spread by asymptomatic people breathing out, coughing and sneezing infected droplets in public and semi-public places that EVERYONE should wear a mask. Because: "when we all wear a mask we protect ourselves by the simultaneous act of protecting everyone else."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The only reason masks are not compulsory today in the UK (12th May 2020) during the pandemic could well be because the government of the UK would rather thousands more now die than admit they got the science, logic and commonsense on masks for the public wrong from the very start, and for months they callously refused to admit it, allowing thousands more unnecessary deaths and many more infections to occur.</span><br />

We saw above that on march 4th 2020 The UK Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said not to wear a mask in public and semi public places. Now he has changes his mind. But its too little too late.

<br /><p>President Elect of the USA, Joe Biden, tells Americans on 9th Nov 2020 that the most effective thing they can do to save tens of thousands of lives in the Covid19 pandemic is to "wear a mask" (<a href="https://archive.is/IXxEo">here)</a>. How far is that from Trump's insane mockery of mask wearers and what Biden calls Trump's "emotional and physical clone" Boris Johnson's monster raving loony advice not to wear one because they spread covid19? </p><p><b>Conclusions </b></p><p>I and my family all wore an industrial anti-dust mask covered with an anti-pollution mask from the very start of the COVID19 pandemic. At the time I began this blog post on the Masks Supermyth in May 2020, governments were telling people in the West not to wear masks because they would be depriving medical and nursing staff of personal protective equipment (PPE) we all knew that was absolute claptrap. Moreover, when some scientists were making up stories about masks being ineffective at protecting the wearer and others around them from exhaled virus particles we know that was rubbish because masks would not be recommended to medical staff - and fears of such PPE shortages would not occur - if that was true.</p><p>If there is one lesson to be had here it is that scientists, politicians and the wider public should always abide by the scientific principle of <u style="font-style: italic;">nullius in verba </u>(incidentally, that is the title of my book on the worlds greatest science fraud by plagiarism)<u style="font-style: italic;">.</u>. In other words, do not simply take the word of anyone that anything is true. Check out the independently verifiable facts for yourself. Relatedly, never blindly and credulously follow the zombie horde by accepting any argument on the simple basis that it comes from "authority." </p><p>In the case of my book, <i><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nullius-Verba-Darwins-greatest-secret/dp/1541343964">Nullius in Verba: Darwin's Greatest Secret</a></i>, the scientific community and the wider public have been hoodwinked for over 150 years by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace who both plagiarised the entire theory of evolution by natural selection, its name and explanatory analogies and examples, from the Scot Patrick Matthew who published it in its entirety 27 years before them and - contrary to science mythology started by Darwin's serial lies on the matter - his 1831 book containing the theory was read and cited by Darwin' and Wallace's friends, correspondents, influencers and their influencer's influencers and even by the editor of Wallace's Sarawak paper on the topic before they penned a word on the topic in their private notebooks. Yet despite the newly unearthed independently verifiable evidence in my book and expert peer reviewed papers on the topic (e.g. <a href="https://patrickmatthew.com/onewebmedia/OnKnowledgeContamination.pdf">here</a>) most of the scientific community and general public swallow the Darwin supermyth on the basis that they are blindly obeying authority on the matter.

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Based on the Supermyth that Darwin and Wallace uniquely and independently discovered the natural process of selection, there is a related, daughter, myth that Charles Darwin, together with his botanical mentor and best friend Joseph Hooker uniquely invented terraforming by way of what they did on Ascension Island (e.g. that story </span><a href="https://geog.ucsb.edu/did-darwin-invent-terraforming/" style="color: #7d181e; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;">here</a><span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In reality it is Patrick Matthew, the plagiarized and cheated 1831 originator of the theory of natural selection, whose research and observations of nature provided the factual and theoretical base for terraforming.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">When, in 1831, Matthew published his theory in his book On Naval Timber and Arboriculture, it contained, amongst other religious heresy at the time, the heresy that trees could grow better in other than their "natural" habitats when transplanted there by humans. This heresy was heretical because it went against then Christian doctrine that "God", as designer and creator, placed every living thing in its ideal location. Matthew's heresy here is probably just one of those that led his bombshell breakthrough book to be banned by Perth public Library in Scotland and for reviewers to demand readers not even think about his ruminations on the laws of nature.

<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Selby wrote that he could not understand how it could be so that Matthew said trees could do better when grown outside their natural habitat.

In this way, whether he really could understand it (but pretended otherwise to appease the powerful church) or not, Selby drew attention to Matthew's heresy.

Indeed, while Matthew mocked the church and priests, in many editions of the Origin of Species Darwin kept the notion of "The Creator" in as a supernatural deity that created evolution by natural selection. </span><br />

<br />
In 2014, Sutton used the Big Data-IDD method to find books, which bust the 155-year-old myth started by Darwin that no naturalist known to him had read Patrick Matthew's prior publication of the full theory of natural selection. Mike uniquely discovered seven naturalists had cited Matthew's book before 1858. Darwin knew four and three played major roles at the epicenter of influence on Darwin's pre-1858 work on natural selection.<br />

Prior to the publication of '<i>Nullius</i>' as an e-book in 2014 by ThinkerMedia, and just before that publisher ceased business in December 2017, as vol.1 of three planned derived volumes in paperback in 2017, it was universally believed that Charles Darwin told the truth when he wrote in 1860 that apparently no naturalist had read the orignal ideas in Patrick Matthew's 1831 book, which contained the first full conception of the hypothesis of macroevolution by natural selection<em>. </em><br />

In 2014, <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/7/4/66" target="_blank">Using Big Data analysis and his own IDD research method</a>, Mike established that it is now more likely than not that <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nullius-Verba-Darwins-greatest-secret/dp/1541343964" target="_blank">Darwin and Wallace committed the greatest science fraud</a> in history by plagiarizing the work of Patrick Matthew. Moreover, Mike Sutton uniquely and originally 100 per cent proved that Darwin did commit lying, plagiarising science fraud by glory theft of Matthew's orignal ideas and his influence on other naturalists pre-1858<strong>.</strong></div>

Mike commissioned the<a href="https://patrickmatthew.com/matthew%20art.html" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #7c93a1;">artist Gabriel woods</span> </a>to paint an allegorical analogy to explain to atheist biologists and other Darwinists why the new evidence means that, contrary to the 155 year old science myth, created by Darwin and parroted by credulous Darwinists ever since, other naturalists in fact not only read but also cited Matthew's book in the literature. Moreover, the painting reflects the fact that we now newly know that Darwin knew four of those naturalists and three of them played major roles at the epicenter of influence on Darwin's and Wallace's work on natural slection before 1858. The point of the painting is that it would be a miracle of immaculate cognitive conception - on par with the mythical miraculous supernatural divine conception of the Christian prophet Jesus of Nazareth by the Blessed St Mary - if Darwin and Wallace were gifted some kind of divine cognitive contraceptive to prevent those they knew - who they admitted influenced them - from influencing them with the unique ideas they each replicated that were uniquely in the book that their influences read before influencing them! Rationally, in light of the new data,discovered by Sutton,<a href="http://cejsh.icm.edu.pl/cejsh/element/bwmeta1.element.desklight-b491611b-baca-4ac7-8124-4cdeb96d75ec" target="_blank"> <strong>knowledge contamination</strong> </a>seems far more probable then immaculate cognitive conception.</div>

In <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nullius-Verba-Darwins-greatest-secret/dp/1541343964">2014 and 2016</a> Mike employed his same IDD research method, that discovered long-neglected publications that debunk the expert 'knowledge-claim' that not a single naturalist read Patrick Matthew's full prior-published conception of the hypotheses of macroevolution by natural selection (before Darwin and Wallace penned a word on the topic.<br />
<br />
In October 2016 the IDD research method detected a long neglected 1939 translation of the accounts of the Gild of St George at St Peter's Church in Nottingham. That book, a scholarly translation of the orignal medieval documents, builds upon the prior research of others (see <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RECDN9W/ref=docs-os-doi_0" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Langley et al 2014</a>) into the 15th century Hill v Hylton Court of Chancery case and how it provided a crucial lead towards the discovery of the grave of Richard III in a Leicester car park in 2012. The newly re-discovered self-published book found with IDD (<a href="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Y8HRAAAAMAAJ&q=" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Hodgkinson 1939</a>) establishes that a past Sheriff of Nottingham (Ralph Hill) sued an acting Mayor of Nottingham (Walter Hylton). Both men were in the same gild (guild). That Nottingham gild lent them money to carry out work on the monument for Richard III's tomb. Moreover, rather than make a new monument (according to current knowledge claims) befitting a dead king, it looks like there is now a new historical document evidence-led possibility that such a monument existed already and Hylton was contracted to repair it rather than make the first one himself.

<strong>2.

5. Mike coined the phrase "<a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-selfish-gene-mythbust.html">The phrase is the concept</a>" and is the originator of the concept that the phrase is the concept. He also coined the term <strong>"Tech-lag Turkey"</strong>.</div>

6. Mike was the first person to use the phrase '<a href="http://archive.is/jh0hA">Internet Dating</a>' to mean using internet search engines to date the provenance of words, phrases and concepts ( a bit like virtual carbon dating). Using this technique he has busted myths about the origin of words, phrases and concepts including: <a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-british-moral-panic-creation-myth.html">Moral Panic</a>, <a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-merton-myth-is-bust.html">Self-Fulfilling Prophecy</a>, <a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-warren-harding-1916-founded.html">The Founding Fathers</a> and Black Markets and <a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-bootleg-myth.html">Bootlegging</a></div>

7. In February 2013 using the Google search engine Mike 'discovered' <a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2020/02/how-google-once-found-original-google.html">The original thing called a "Google</a>"</div>

8. On <a href="http://patrickmathew.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/the-wise-man-mocks-mocker-mocker-mocks.html" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">29th July 2015 Mike coined the saying</a>: <strong><em>"The wise man mocks the mocker. The mocker mocks man."</em></strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 10px; padding: 0px;">
9, On February 9th 2016 Mike coined the word "cycligan" to describe adults who ride bicycles in pedestrian areas - especially pavements (side-walks).</div>

10. On 1<a href="https://www.wordnik.com/lists/punterization">7th December 2008</a> Mike began developing the concept of <em>punterization</em>: <em>punterized</em>(also <em>punterised</em>) and<em> punterization</em> ( punterisation) as the dishing out (punterrization) - and awareness of being on the receiving end <em>(punterised</em>) of - dishonest or disingenuous treatment. (<a href="http://archive.is/vpIVd">archived</a>)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Admitting that more research is needed, Mike thinks he may be the first to use the words punterized and punterization in this particular sense.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Mike certainly never coined the word punterization, which has been in very rare usage (perhaps of Australian origin) to mean such things as normalised - or else "sexed-up" to appeal to the general population <a href="http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13734&start=20" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">here</a>. And <a href="http://classicbackissues.australasianscience.com.au/bi2005/263editorial.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>here</strong></a> as early as 2005.</div>

In 2016 Mike came up with the notion of the '<strong><a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-rifkin-imperative.html">Rifkin Imperative</a>'</strong> to seek to explain why some offenders appear unable to resist bragging about exploits in cases where such bragging leads to their detection.<br />

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 10px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 10px; padding: 0px;">
2. <a href="http://dysology.com/Dysology%20Hypothesis.html" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>The Dysology Hypothesis</strong></a>: <em>Letting scholars get away with publishing fallacies and myths signals to others the existence of topics where guardians of good scholarship might be less capable than elsewhere. Such dysology then serves as an allurement to poor scholars to disseminate existing myths and fallacies and to create and publish their own in these topic areas, which leads to a downward spiral of diminishing veracity on particular topics</em>.</div>

3. <strong><a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/routine-activities-theory-internet-and.html">The Crime Substitution Hypothesis</a></strong>: <em>Since the Routine Activities Theory (RAT) is a theory of how crime shifts and changes in relation to changes in society - and according to <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crime-Everyday-Life-Marcus-Felson/dp/1412936330" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Felson and Boba (2010) </a>the key to such changes is the technology of everyday life - then a significant amount of online activity and games console playing at home might be keeping people off the streets for significant periods every day and reducing the amount of hourly availability of victims and offenders in the offline world, while ensuring homes are occupied for more hours every day. If it is, and yet that is not responsible for the currently unfathomable 15 year decline in violent crime, car crime and burglary in the Western world then routine activities alone may be nothing like as a good an explanation for high volume crime as its adherents think it is. Of course, the 15 year crime drop in the offline world may be taking place in a direct inverse relationship with online offending such as fraud, stalking, virus spreading, hacking and copyright theft etc - which RAT would explain. This appears to be an important issue with huge implications for criminology and crime reduction policy making. Mike has published blog articles on this topic and two articles with his colleague Professor Mark Griffiths (1) <a href="http://sheu.org.uk/x/eh311mg.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Here</a> (2) <a href="http://sheu.org.uk/x/eh334mg.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Here</a></em></div>

4. <strong><a href="https://dysology.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-frozen-donkey-hypothesis.html">The Frozen Donkey Hypothesis</a></strong>: <em><strong>If one encounters a frozen donkey in the road, standing, for all the world as though alive, no amount of reasoning, patience, impatient berating or rational cajoling will entice it to shift its position. The donkey is not merely being stubborn. Why not? Because it is bereft of life. The donkey can think no more, all mental faculties have ceased to be. The only solution is to go around it. </strong><strong>Darwinist historians of science are behaving like frozen donkeys. Unable to adapt to a sudden change in their circumstances, they succumb to those circumstances. If they continue to do so they will be circumvented by scholars better able to adapt to the New Data. Once significantly circumvented, Darwinist historians of science will lose their power of occupancy in the literature on the topic of the discovery of natural selection. Once that happens they will shortly become intellectually extinct.</strong></em></div>

'<em>... in timber trees the opposite course has been pursued. The large growing varieties being so long of coming to produce seed, that many plantations are cut down before they reach this maturity, the small growing and weakly varieties, known by early and extreme seeding, have been continually selected as reproductive stock, from the ease and conveniency with which their seed could be procured; and the husks of several kinds of these invariably kiln-dried, in order that the seeds might be the more easily extracted. May we, then, wonder that our plantations are occupied by a sickly short-lived puny race, incapable of supporting existence in situations where their own kind had formerly flourished—particularly evinced in the genus Pinus,more particularly in the species Scots Fir; so much inferior to those of Nature's own rearing, where only the stronger, more hardy, soil-suited varieties can struggle forward to maturity and reproduction?</em></div>

The first systematic study of the various ways that stolen goods are stored, sold and bought - going beyond the previous focus upon the guilty mind and level of involvement of dealers and consumers - was conducted by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Sutton_(criminologist)" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Mike Sutton </a>who created a fivefold market typology based on his in-depth interviews with expert prolific thieves, inexperienced thieves, fences, drug dealers and stolen goods consumers. In 1998, the UK Home Office published Sutton's report proposing a systematic framework for researching and tackling local stolen goods markets. This is the Market Reduction Approach (MRA) for tackling theft.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">Sutton has numerous scholarly publications in the field of hate crimes, bias and prejudice, including a mythbusting UK Government report and guide on the </span><a href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdf/611667.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; font-size: 13px;"><strong>best use of media in reducing ‘racial’ prejudice.</strong></a><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px;"> What Sutton discovered, during the time he was working on this project, about the effect of bias on racism, and the effect of bias on efforts to tackle it, led him to look in more depth at the issue of bias in all fields, particularly in understanding more about how myths are created, reinforced and disseminated. Sutton is particularly interested in understanding how knowledge about the dynamic life of myths might be utilised in developing the strangely neglected field of how best to tackle them. This is an area that he calls </span><a href="http://dysology.com/" style="color: #7c93a1; font-size: 13px;"><strong>dysology studies</strong></a><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">. Lessons learned in this field may well be useful for reducing, hate crimes of all kinds, cultural, religious, and ethnic prejudices as well as all areas where it is important that veracity is maintained in the public interest – such as in all areas of science and medicine.</span></h2>

<strong>Evidence of Policy Impact of my research</strong></h3>

I am the originator of the Market Reduction Approach to theft (MRA), and my research in this area has, for more than a decade, influenced government policy advice and policy making in Britain and elsewhere. Several British police forces have sought to reduce theft with the MRA.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 10px; padding: 0px;">
In 1999, the MRA was implemented for the first time when Kent Constabulary sought to use it in its <strong style="color: #7c93a1;"><em><a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200001/cmhansrd/vo010322/debtext/10322-26.htm" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Operation Radium</a> </em></strong>to reduce high levels of burglary and other theft in the Medway Towns of Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham and Strood, which were given the collective pseudonym South Town (<a href="http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100413151441/crimereduction.homeoffice.gov.uk/securedesign/securedesign27.htm" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong><em>Home Office 2004</em></strong></a>). This initiative led to the passing of several local Acts of Parliament throughout England to regulate trade in second hand goods, with an aim to reduce Supply by Theft (Sutton 1995) including the <a href="http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/kent/documents/KentAct%20HOreport.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong><em>Kent Acts</em></strong></a>(2001) and the <a href="http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=947" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong><em>Nottingham City Council Act (2003</em></strong></a>).<br />

The MRA was mentioned at National Government level, along with my work in Parliamentary debate (Hansard 2000) and the Kent Acts later in Parliamentary Business (<a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmhansrd/vo040513/text/40513w30.htm#40513w30.html_sbhd1" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Hansard 2004</strong></a>). In 1999, the British Home Office funded the implementation of the MRA in three police forces: <strong><a href="http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld199900/ldhansrd/vo000118/text/00118-20.htm" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">Kent</a>,</strong> <a href="http://www.gov-news.org/gov/uk/news/burglary_vandalism_and_arson_action_set_out/6987.html" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>West Mercia</strong></a> and <a href="http://menmedia.co.uk/salfordadvertiser/news/s/408732_24m_boost_for_war_on_street_crime" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Stockport</strong></a> in Greater Manchester (<a href="http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20100413151441/crimereduction.homeoffice.gov.uk/burglary/burglaryminisite07.htm" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Home Office 2006</strong></a>), followed by a Government funded evaluation by the University of Kent of the implementation and impact of the MRA in <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldselect/ldobclla0405/6032302.htm" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Kent</strong></a> and <a href="http://menmedia.co.uk/salfordadvertiser/news/s/408732_24m_boost_for_war_on_street_crime" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Greater Manchester</strong></a> (Harris, Hale and Uglow 2003; <a href="http://kar.kent.ac.uk/1898/1/Home_Office_Development_Practice_Report_17.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Hale et al (2004</strong></a>).</div>

Other MRA schemes have been implemented in Britain in Nottinghamshire and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110713050029/http://www.internetjournalofcriminology.com/Sutton%20-%20Stolen%20Goods%20in%20Derby.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><strong>Derby City constabularies</strong>.</a> In 2011, the MRA was defined as a core policing core practice and as a performance indicator by <a href="http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=947" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Nottinghamshire Constabulary</strong></a> and the <a href="http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/upload/public/attachments/258/south_notts_cdrp_partnership_strategic_plan_200811.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>City’s Crime Reduction Partnership</strong></a>. I continue to publish in the area of tackling stolen goods markets (e.g. <a href="http://www.popcenter.org/problems/stolen_goods/" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Sutton 2010</strong></a>) and advise police at local, national and international levels. I occasionally act as an unpaid ad-hoc informal ‘skeptical friend’ (academic adviser) for various police forces through meetings, email and telephone conversations. In 2011, I addressed a British audience of chief police officers through the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO National Burglary Reduction Working Group) on the subject of the MRA and the importance of veracity to inform policy in policing and crime reduction (7/9/2011).<br />

Although the MRA has been promoted as ‘good practice’ by the British Government and has been used by several police forces, it has not proved possible to evaluate its impact in reducing crime due to a number of factors, not least the extent of confounding variables that impact upon crime rates at both the local and national level. Despite lack of evidence of its effectiveness in reducing crime, the UK Government, US Government, Australian Government and New Zealand Government (somewhat surprisingly) promote it as good ‘effective’ policing and general crime reduction practice:</div>

The MRA has been quite widely cited in the literature on crime reduction by criminologists including Marcus Felson and Ronald Clarke (See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_Reduction_Approach" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Wikipedia 2011</strong></a>; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminology?oldid=0" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>2011a</strong></a>; <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Sutton_(criminologist)" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;">2011b</a></strong> for a reasonably comprehensive list).

On 26 August 2011, The Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (formerly known as the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance) sent a written submission to the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee regarding the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland). Bill. The submission informed Parliament of the dangers of implementing uninformed racism reductions measures that are likely to backfire and make the problem worse. The submission <a href="http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/S4_JusticeCommittee/Inquiries/OB67._Coalition_for_Racial_Equality_Rights.pdf" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>cited the myth busting research </strong></a>contained within the ‘<em>Getting the Message Across’</em> report (Sutton et al 2007). Policy making advice within the ‘Getting the Message Across’ report inspired the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance (Now Coalition for Racial Equality and Human Rights - CREHR) to <strong>successfully apply for funding </strong>to test its recommendations. They wrote:</div>

I devised the IDD research method, which amongst other mythbusts, originally unearthed literature in 2013/14 that totally disproves the prior-scientific establishment cherished and beloved myth that no naturalist at all/none know to Charles Darwin or Alfred Wallace had read Patrick Matthew's (1831) prior published complete theory of macroevolution by natural selection. The bombshell💣 findings are in my 2014, 2016 book <i><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nullius-Verba-Darwins-greatest-secret/dp/1541343964">Nullius in Verba: Darwin's Greatest Secret</a> </i>and in two expert peer reviewed academic journal articles: <a href="http://britsoccrim.org/volume14/pbcc_2014_sutton.pdf">here</a> and <a href="https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/42392608.pdf">here</a>. The IDD method and a small samples of original mythbusting findings made with it are in another expert peer reviewed journal article - <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/7/4/66">here</a>. The IDD method also bust the Spinach, Popeye and Iron Decimal Point Error Myth.

The Big Data IDD method used to find the orignal Google no longer works. Indeed Google's functionality has been so reduced that unless I had found the original Google when I did then it may have remained buried for many more years. You can read about some other discoveries made with the IDD method in a peer reviewed paper <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/7/4/66" style="color: #7c93a1; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><b>HERE</b></a>, which explains how the method was used and can still be employed today albeit with limited capacity since the search engine is now impeded by Google..<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Readers of my recent mythbusting work will know that I have developed a research technique called internet dating (so called because it’s remotely like carbon dating the veracity or the published origins of words and phrases). Internet dating as a research technique relies upon efficiently and systematically sifting and synthesizing knowledge inside books, journals, newspapers and other documents scanned by Google. My own recent use of Google to bust a number of etymological fallacies about who said what first and where certain words and phrases originated quite neatly brings me to the theme of this particular peer-to-peer articlette. Namely: what is the origin of the word Google?</div>

Last week, I ‘discovered’ the earliest (to date) known publication of the word google by using Google to search on the word google. And I can attest that it’s earliest published use appears as the title of a book. The reference for that book <a href="https://archive.is/o/EVXGb/books.google.co.uk/books?id=VI-zHAAACAAJ&dq=" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">is Hildebrand, A. F. (1903) A Voice from the Wilderness: Meditations of a Google. San Francisco, California<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/EVXGb/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a> (hereafter The Original Google). In its first chapter, Hildebrand reveals that he also wrote and self <a href="https://archive.is/o/EVXGb/www.worldcat.org/search?q=au:Hillogrates,+Aristotle+Flavius,&qt=hot_author" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">published an earlier book, in 1901, entitled The Conglomerate de Omniferia; Or, The Meditations of a Hobo under the pseudonym Aristotle Flavius Hillogrates.<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/EVXGb/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
It’s something of a duel-mystery why only a single copy of each book appears to be in existence and why they have survived at all. Both were self-published, which leads me to wonder whether perhaps the reason for the rarity of Hildebrand’s work and its survival is that it was perhaps surreptitiously inserted onto several library shelves by the author himself and that the two surviving copies of his unremarked literature survived library fires, librarian purges, merges, thefts and audits long enough to have been scanned as part of Google’s remarkable <a href="https://archive.is/o/EVXGb/www.google.co.uk/googlebooks/library/index.html" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">Library Project<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/EVXGb/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a>. Perversely, one reason for their library survival may be that the books have remained in excellent condition because so few people have read them.</div>

This week, I used the international inter-library loan system to obtain a photocopy of the front cover, title page and the first chapter. You can see them in the image below.

I’ve read chapter 1 and I have to say its quasi-philosophical, religious and literary ramblings are not quite to my taste.

What does make the inter-library loan expense amazingly worthwhile is the author’s 110 year old explanation for why he refers to himself as a google. (Hildebrand 1903, p. 7):</div>

<em>‘A US company formed in 1998 that runs the Google internet search engine. Google resulted from a research project in 1996 by two postgraduate students from Stanford University. Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Such is its dominance over the other search engines that ‘to Google’ has become a generic verb meaning to search for something or someone on the internet. The story goes that Page and Brin thought they were naming their company after Googol, the vast number 1 followed by 100 zeroes, but got the spelling wrong. Similarly, the company's headquarters in California is called the Googleplex.’.</em></div>

Chambers (2012, p. 442), which, incidentally, is owned by the same publishing house as Brewer’s has this to say on the subject of the words googol and Google:</div>

</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
For his own part in this story here is what Edward Kasner (1938, p. 13) has to say about what a googol is, what a googolplex is and where he got the words from:</div>
<blockquote style="color: #666666; margin: auto 40px; padding-left: 20px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
<em>"You may want to know where I got the name “googol.” I was walking in the woods with my nephew one day, and I asked the boy to think up any name for the number; any amusing name that entered his head. He suggested “googol.” At the same time, he gave me a name for a still larger number: “googolplex.” A googolplex is much larger than a googol, but it is still finite. Put down one, and then follow it with zeros until you get tired. No, that is a joke, because the googolplex is a specific number. A googolplex is one with so many zeros that the number of zeros is a googol: one with a googol of zeros. A googolplex is certainly bigger than a googol. Is it googol times a googol? No. A googol times a googol would be one with two hundred zeros. I want one with a googol of zeros. You would not have enough room to write them even if they went to the furthest star, putting down zeros all the way there and making a tour of all the nebulae. A googolplex is really an enormous thing.”</em></div>

Barney Google invented in 1919 - celebrated by the US postal service in 1995</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
Presumably then we have to believe that the search engine wizards Larry Page and Sergey Brin and the whole of their team, and their PR copyrighters, friends and family oddly never saw a single Barney Google US postage stamp in 1995, which was just two years earlier (see timeline below).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
Whatever the actual facts of the case about the Google search engine creator's explanation - <a href="https://archive.is/o/EVXGb/graphics.stanford.edu/~dk/google_name_origin.html" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">and those of Stanford university eyewitness David Koller<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/EVXGb/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a>, for why they named their superb product Google, of particular interest to etymologists should surely be that contrary to <a href="https://archive.is/o/EVXGb/dysology.org/" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">dysological<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/EVXGb/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a> claptrap published on line (e.g. <a href="https://archive.is/o/EVXGb/futur3googl3r.blogspot.co.uk/2008/08/origin-of-word-google-word-google-has.html" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">here<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/EVXGb/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a>) it has nothing to do with googly (a cricket term). Instead, it is etymologically related to Barney Google’s previously earliest known published namesake who is a monster that lives at the bottom of a garden pond in an illustrated 1913 children’s book. Speculatively, that fictional creation may possibly have influenced the naming of Barney Google in 1919. Chambers (2012) go on to speculate that Barney Google's name may have then influenced the naming of the number googol by maths wizards Kasner and Newman in 1940, via Kasner's nine year old nephew. Finally, that mathematical word googol is then - according to the story published online by the Google search engine company - meant to have influenced the 1997 naming of their search engine Google. Finally, thanks to an obscure book found by that search engine (reported for the first time in this articlette) we must now add Hildebrand's original 1903 google into the story.</div>

<strong>Conclusions and the way forward</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
Several things interest me about this on-going story. Firstly, as an incurable romantic, I’d like to know a little more about the obscure Hildebrand. I think there is a marvelous opportunity here for a little detective work that should perhaps begin by looking for clues in his two books. The fact that he put his thoughts into self-published books suggests that he wanted to influence mankind beyond the grave. I suspect he could have had no idea that it would be the weird title of his book that would bring him to the attention of the world via a once unimaginable technology sharing the same name. But what particularly interests me is:</div>
<blockquote style="color: #666666; margin: auto 40px; padding-left: 20px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
(1) Whether, due to 21 century knowledge flux (Sutton 2013), Google’s Library project will help us to trace its etymological roots further back than my 1903 Google facilitated ‘discovery’?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
(2) Whether we could ever satisfactorily explain the choice of the word by Hildebrand – is it merely because he thought such a childish nonsense word had never before been coined?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
(3) While it might be possible, can we ever know for sure – or is it plausible to suggest - that either Vincent Cartwright Vickers <em>and/or</em> Billy DeBeck read Hildebrand's Original Google of 1903?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
(4) Whether anyone at Google. or any of Page and Brin's friends or relatives ever used the US Postal Service in 1995?</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
<strong>The Hildebrand Hypothesis</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
I would like to here propose the Hildebrand Hypothesis, which is that:</div>
<blockquote style="color: #666666; margin: auto 40px; padding-left: 20px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
<em>The unremarked author Hildebrand is remarkable as the Original Google 110 years after self-publishing his book <strong>because</strong> its subtitle acted causally upon the naming of Page and Brin's search engine</em>.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
To dis-confirm the hypothesis it will be necessary to establish that on the balance of reasonable probabilities that Hildebrand's Original Google did not influence anyone who influenced Page and Brin's choice of the word for their search engine.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
The hypothesis would be confirmed by the discovery of new evidence that either Vickers, DeBeck, Kasner, Newman or Kasner's nephew or Page and Brin were directly influenced in the naming of their creations by Hildebrand's Original Google.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
<strong>Finally, let's end on a little further fun</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">

My uncle, Samuel V. Sanger, born 1899 in Pittsburgh, studied cartooning with Billy DeBeck, whether in person or via the correspondence course I don't know--probably the latter. A few years ago, forgetting the name of the artist behind "Barney Google" I unthinkingly googled "Google." What google immediately sent me to was Billy DeBeck. I thought, how weird that I had googled "google."</div>

Many thanks - I do hope you have some of your Uncle's cartoons in your family archive.</div>

One interesting thing about Google is that it is highly protective of its name - despite the fact that they never coined the word they would sue anyone for breach of trademark for publishing a book entitled, for example, How to Google - if that book was about their search engine.</div>

<strong>What are supermyths and braced myths?</strong></h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Supermyths, of which braced myths are a sub-type - are ironic unintended, or else a deliberate and disingenuous, consequences of fallacy dissemination. Supermyths have three very specific components:</div>
<ol>
<li>the creation of a fallacy, myth or error by an orthodox expert</li>
<li>it being used by another expert who in turn promotes it as being ‘true’ and</li>
<li>whilst still thinking that it is true, promotes it as a good example of the need to be healthily sceptical of bad scholarship. Moreover, fourthly:</li>
<li>Braced myths are supermyths that have been pointedly deployed by orthodox scholars in order to bust another specific myth or fallacy. The braced myth hypothesis is that using one myth as a specific mythbusting device in this way braces the supermyth to make it further entrenched and therefore more difficult to prevent it being credulously disseminated as veracious knowledge.</li>
</ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<em><strong>What do we know about the impact of modern myths on society by way of their misinforming and therefore misdirecting central and local policy making, professional practice, teaching, learning and the media?</strong></em></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The above question is of core importance in a topical area that is likely to grow in popularity, not least because international recognition of the importance of veracity in a wide variety of areas is reflected in a growth industry of recent publications that both inform and reflect the increasing number of experts and the international growth of interest groups promoting anti-quackery and skeptical inquiry in the natural and social sciences.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The modern myth is defined simply as a widely believed falsehood, which sets it apart from the older notion of myths as stories that are understood at some level to represent deep and enduring truths about social, spiritual or other psychological conditions of mankind. I hypothesize that the <em>supermyth is </em>a most powerfully influential sub-type of the modern notion of myth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The starting point of a supermyth is when an orthodox expert in its subject area publishes a statement of purported fact that is based upon an error in reasoning (fallacy) or else upon a factual error. That published claim then takes on a life of its own as it is credulously reinforced as veracious by numerous orthodox respected sceptics who each cite it unquestioningly in their own scholarly publications, in newspaper articles, on television and websites</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
According to my thesis, what sets my idea of <em>supermyths</em> apart from other fallacies and myths serves as a unique and timely warning for those promoting the virtues of skeptical inquiry, because the great irony is that, unlike ordinary myths, supermyths are created by respected orthodox scholars and then credulously disseminated by other experts distinctively in the spirit of promoting skeptical enquiry.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
As if the existence of supermyths is not enough to be sceptically concerned about, I have refined the concept further by way of the identification of what I call braced myths. Braced myths are supermyths that have been reinforced by other scholars in that they have not just been disseminated by but also been utilised by credulous experts who have erroneously deployed them as ‘argument winners’ to bust other myths. By using a myth to bust a myth, I argue, these experts have braced the supermyth by dint of such powerful association with expert myth busting verity. Put simply, a braced myth is influential counterknowledge (misinformation packaged to look like fact) that is created by an expert authority and then believed by credulous yet highly influential skeptics who fail to adequately check its accuracy by way of primary data sources and/or fail also to question the rationality of its premises and also promote it as veracious ‘knowledge’. Finally, with unintended irony, they ignorantly deploy it as an intellectual myth busting weapon targeted at specific knowledge claims made by others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The Spinach Myth is the first supermyth discovered and also the first braced myth. This widely believed falsehood goes as follows: <em>A published 19<span style="bottom: 1.3ex; position: relative; vertical-align: 0px;">th</span> century decimal point error in the iron levels of spinach led bio-chemists to reprint the error without checking the iron levels of spinach for themselves leading to generations of children being forced to eat unpalatable spinach, above other tastier leafy vegetables, for no good reason and this ten-fold error is the reason that Popeye ate spinach for strength.</em></div>

The Spinach Myth was finally busted after I was kindly assisted by clues provided by a friendly US skeptic who emailed me after reading my initial publication of a primary research paper that first bust the Popeye part of the myth. Further research led me to discover that it appears to have been first <a class="breakable-url" href="http://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/chemistry/biochemistry/the-spinach-popeye-iron-decimal-error-myth-is-finally-busted" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">created by Professor Arnold Bende</a>r (an orthodox nutrition expert) at his inaugural lecture at Queen Elizabeth College, London in 1972 and then spread by many other respected academics, who, believing it to be true but not checking the facts, used it unwittingly in what ironically turns out to be a number of deeply embarrassing, hypocritical and <em><strong>self-defeating exhortations</strong></em> of the general need to be healthily skeptical by always checking the primary sources of claims made by others. The myth was then braced when a number of other credulous 'skeptics' portrayed it as an exemplar of veracious knowledge to criticize various specific research findings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
I have written several articles on the Spinach Myth: <a class="breakable-url" href="http://www.internetjournalofcriminology.com/Sutton_Spinach_Iron_and_Popeye_March_2010.pdf" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">the first one as a primary research paper<span class="external-link-marker" style="background-image: url("https://bestthinking.cachefly.net/content/images/pfnxxtku.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a>on the importance of adequate citation and the <a class="breakable-url" href="http://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/chemistry/biochemistry/the-spinach-popeye-iron-decimal-error-myth-is-finally-busted" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">second, which completely busted the myth here on Best Thinking.</a></div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<strong>Other Supermyths</strong></h4>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The second braced myth that I have discovered is the only other known example of the braced myth sub-type identified to date. I named it the Zombie Cop Myth, and this one is a widely believed myth about beat policing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<br />
Unlike the Spinach Myth, which is solely based upon an error of fact, the Zombie Cop Myth is based upon a fallacy and an error of fact combined. It started with a combination of completely unrealistic assumptions about the nature of foot patrol beat policing that was used to inform a mere exercise in arithmetic ‘on the back of an envelope’ to seek to demonstrate a lack of efficiency of beat policing. An error of fact was then made by many others that a published claim made by the authors of that exercise, on the bases of that exercise, reflected research findings from an empirical study of real police officers on the beat</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
.My jointly authored paper on this myth explains in detail its origin, where and how often it has been perpetuated, how it has been used, and most curiously how it has begun to mutate.You can read about it <a class="breakable-url" href="http://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/social_sciences/sociology/the-problem-of-zombie-cops-in-voodoo-criminology-a-27-year-old-myth-about-beat-patrol-policing-is-busted" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">here on best thinking</a>.</div>

Myth busting Crime Opportunity theory with logic reveals precisely how the widely accepted criminological notion of crime opportunity is based upon a simple error of reasoning. In a number of papers on the subject I have discussed the harmful implications for society of basing such theories upon irrational premises, or within irrational frameworks for theory building. I would recommend my paper <a class="breakable-url" href="http://www.bestthinking.com/articles/science/social_sciences/sociology/opportunity-does-not-make-the-thief-busting-the-myth-that-opportunity-is-a-cause-of-crime" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">Opportunity Does Not Make the Thief as a useful place to begin reading abut the Crime Opportunity Myth</a>.</div>

Here on Best Thinking, I have revealed the existence of three influential examples of counterknowledge, which I have so far discovered, where highly respected experts - whose work is in turn supported by respected scholars in the same field - all failed to check the evidence and have been found to have accidentally created what appear to be influential supermyths. More research is required to seek likely causes and to understand the nature, known progress and impact of such myths.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
It is my hypothesis that supermyths are particularly deeply socially and academically embedded and harder therefore to limit than other modern myths. Furthermore, supermyths remind all who promote themselves as experts in their field to pay more attention to fact checking primary sources, providing adequate citation to statements of fact and to consider more thoroughly the premises upon which accepted theories and approaches are built.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
I began this brief article with a question and so it seems fitting to end it with another. The particularly telling question I would like to ask here is designed in part to serve as an embedded warning of the dangers of failing to check primary sources and of taking for granted the premises of theories. It is this: <em><strong>Might braced myths, such as the Spinach Myth and the Zombie Cop Myth, rank among the most exquisitely ironic discoveries of the unintended consequences of mankind’s purposive action?</strong></em></div>

<strong><em>We need to bring e-pirates to book!</em></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
I believe that at least one of the reasons for Best Thinking closing is that its business model relied to a significant degree upon the long-tail publication model of e-books. That model would have been a winner had hackers not cracked Kindle and criminal book pirate websites such as <a href="https://archive.is/o/sggZG/https://kisslibrary.com/" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;"><strong>Kiss-Library in Belorussia</strong><span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/sggZG/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a> and <strong><a href="https://archive.is/o/sggZG/https://archive.org/about/bios.php" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">The Internet Archive<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/sggZG/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a> </strong>in the USA stolen the copyrighted original creative work of authors and their hardworking professional publishers. Like so many others, those two famous websites started collecting criminal revenue in sales or by parasitically begging the public for money for doing so.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
In my opinion websites such as those need to have their owners, agents volunteers and employees brought to justice through government action, prosecution and punitive civil law suits.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
How, otherwise, can Western industrialised nations such as the USA seek diplomatic solutions to the copyright theft endemic in China and elsewhere when the Internet Archive has US "not for profit" status for being a book pirate website? They are brazenly pirating and disseminating the Best Thinking published first edition <strong><a href="https://archive.is/o/sggZG/https://archive.org/details/Nullius1" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">ThinkerMedia e-book of Nullius in Verba: Darwin's greatest secret here.<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/sggZG/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a> </strong>So far, they are refusing to cease and desist.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
Over the past few days, I have been in contact by email with The Internet Archive. They are playing what appears to me to all intents and purposes to be a transparent passive aggressive scam game with me by now asking for personal identification details including my home address and signature. They surely know that to be a typical scam artists "wear down the poor suckers ruse" because all the advice from experts in cybercrime is not to give out such information when asked for it by dodgy or clearly criminal organizations.</div>

Accordingly, I have informed The Internet Archive by email, twice now, that I will not give them that sensitive information. I warned them I would pursue them through the federal, police, tax and civil law if they do not cease and desist pirating and disseminating the e-book (1st edition) and paperback (2<span style="bottom: 1.3ex; position: relative; vertical-align: 0px;">nd</span> edition) of my book “Nullius in Verba: Darwin’s greatest secret”.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
The internet Archive, like KissLibrary.com, presents itself as a respectable and heroic freedom of access to information organisation. What they are doing in fact is bringing about the imminent demise of any new marketable e-books, and Kindle as a publishing platform, which is so obviously a very un-green thing to do.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
We authors are not going to publish e-books when these parasites criminally steal them from us. Like most people, we do not choose to work for the benefit of criminals!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
If you are as concerned as I am that we not let these parasitical pirates wreck a golden age of publishing before it fully takes off please disseminate what you have read here far and wide.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
Please take a few minutes to take some action and inform the authorities and get it into the national news media and social media. All the proof you need is in the links provided in this blog regarding how Best Thinking's Thinker Media Inc. books have been pirated, but that is the tip of the iceberg only. There are many other victims.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
The US citizens behind the brazen destructive parasitical piracy of my books openly flaunt their names and credentials on the Internet <strong><a href="https://archive.is/o/sggZG/https://archive.org/about/bios.php" style="color: #005588; text-decoration-line: none;">Here<span style="background-image: url("https://archive.is/sggZG/1537f27de90c56c9034396dfd026f06b83c37b03.png"); background-position: 100% -112px; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: pointer; display: inline-block; width: 16px;"> </span></a>.</strong> Surely, their arrogant swaggering juvenile kidult confidence cannot be justified by responsible adults with a sense of decently and equity for the rights of hardworking, original, creative authors and their publishers. The authorities have a responsibility to stop and punish book pirates.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 13px;">
Please assist me in bringing these stupidly selfish, harmfully parasitical and lazy anarchistic people to book.</div>
