:::::Aschafly, perhaps you did not realize that my earlier questions were meant for you. I wish to address the statistical errors in a specific way, which requires a better understanding of your position. I will repeat my main questions: why was it incorrect to apply Monte Carlo techniques to the data in the paper, or in what way was the Monte Carlo technique performed incorrectly? Second, why was it incorrect to apply the Z-transform to the data from the three replays, or in what way was the Z-transform performed incorrectly? In lieu of the Monte Carlo/Z-transform techniques, what statistical calculations ''should'' have been performed? Feel free to be technical; I have more than a ninth grade education.--[[User:Brossa|Brossa]] 17:38, 15 September 2008 (EDT)

:::::It takes much more than a 9th-grade education to thoroughly evaluate professional microbiology and experimental statistics. The letter was rejected because the objections raised demonstrated fundamental misunderstandings of the techniques used, and thus were not up to PNAS standards. That's all there is to it. Period. The objections were vague (far from "''very specific''") and offered no corrections (and none have yet appeared on this site either). They only said "that's wrong" without support, which accomplishes nothing. That letter, like all such correspondence, was evaluated purely on its own merit, and not because PNAS is afraid of being proven wrong (in fact, that's when science is most exciting!). Furthermore, anonymous review is common practice- you also wouldn't have gotten a name if he/she had agreed with the letter. [[User:Kallium|Kallium]] 18:23, 15 September 2008 (EDT)

Andrew, If you are so sure that your statistical analysis of the Lenski paper is correct, you should publish it on Conservapedia. [[User:MickA|MickA]] 17:38, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
