“To Say That I Am an Expert Is to Say That the Peer-Reviewed Research Is an Expert.”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

The primary mission of this website is to convince everyone that Rob Bennett is one of the leading experts on investing, regardless of results.  As part of this mission, everyone must keep it zipped unless they agree with Rob Bennett.

All that I have argued for 23 years is that we should permit discussion of the peer-reviewed research at every site. So to say that I am an expert is to say that the peer-reviewed research is an expert. I think that’s so. The great thing about research is that it reveals things that you didn’t know without having done research. I see that as a huge benefit.

If we are not going to permit discussion of the peer-reviewed research, why have peer-reviewed journals? It seems like a waste. It’s only when you apply what you learned from the research that research comes to have value. If the peer-reviewed journals just collect dust, what good are they? I believe in making use of new knowledge. That’s progress.

You Goons act like Shiller’s Nobel-prize-winning research is a curse. I see it as a blessing.
