Waving the Red Flag

There was a rather odd article by Michael Brooks in last Saturday’s Guardian‘s Comment is Free section: Black Holes in the Argument. He constructed a strawman in his very first paragraph and proceeded from there. The whole effect reminded me of the sort of person who insisted that a man should walk in front of the early horseless carriages waving a red flag.

 

Still, not to worry, "Charles Darwin" is on hand to point the piece out for the rather muddled nonsense it seemed to be.
