If I can convince you of even one fallacy in the document, will you dismiss that particular document?

No. If you can convince me of one fallacy, I will dismiss that fallacy. The validity of statement A should not effect the validity of statement B.

The FDA is saying that GMO food is no different than any other food. Therefore, it does not require testing before being released on the coderanch.
If it is true, then why is there one person who is getting sick from it?
Does ANY GMO food cause this problem?
Yes.

Excuse if someone's asked this before and I missed it, but:
Paul, it sounds like your friend has been ill when trying GMO foods and fine with organic foods. I don't think you mentioned whether he had tested non-organic, non-GMO foods? There are a lot of things that fit into this category, at least where I shop. If these foods also bother your friend's digestion, it would be reasonable to conclude that he is intolerant to one or more additives, herbicides, or pesticides; rather than the results of GM.
Many people get sick and die from things like peanuts and eggs and more. Are they unfit for human consumption? Nope

In other words, if we have to use Boolean algebra, it's not "and" but "or"?
Then label GMO foods so that the people that do get sick from it can avoid it. Just as they label foods that may contain peanuts or other common allergens.

In particular, what bothers me in Max's approach: I am not sure any scientific theory can be adequately modeled with Boolean algebra.

ugghhh... this thread has gotten a little convaluted (boy I wish I could spell).
How many issues are we debating here?
...light on facts and supporting documentation....
C) Is it fair to present a document, and have an expert on one side
tear it apart, without having another expert to rebut?
1) The original video. I said it contains lots of accusation, but was
2) The document I linked to:
A) How much of it is truthful?
B) If point q in the document is false, does that invalidate the ENTIRE
document
3) Paul's friend. What do his tests prove (if anything)? Were they even
valid tests?
4) GMO in general
A) Has it been adquetly tested?
B) Does Paul's friend's test mean anything?[/CODE]

Sorry for confusion, by "process" I meant something like penduloum's motion. How science is made is entirely diffeent question that I wouldn't even attempt to discuss. Let's concentrate on a theory that is already um... ready. Finished, complete. Can any such theory be modeled (expressed?) with Boolean algebra?
