Terrence sent his "paper" to NDT. Idk whether or not he was requesting a peer review but he spouts this stuff publicly constantly, he can't be upset that people are refuting him publicly.
I'm not saying Terrence has any legs to stand on, he doesn't.
I'm just saying it seems a little douchey to get a paper from someone that is in no way a colleague or friend and go to town on that paper. He should have treated it like an amateur that needs encouragement not a colleague that needs the hard truth.
There is no way of saying "your fundamental method of understanding the world is faulty" in a way that someone won't describe as "douchey".
So we're in agreement that what he did was douchey.
There's many things he could have done that weren't douchey.
Sure. Just not while remaining honest and on topic.
There's a wide range of reactions that are not douchey while being both honest and on topic.
Cool. Give us one for Terry here.
Rather than giving an entire unsolicited peer review, I would just mention there were issues with the paper and offer a full peer review if he’s interested. It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.
Now, if that happened, or if Terrence sent the paper and asked for a full peer review, I would take back my comment. But based on this video, it didn’t feel like that’s what happened.
Talking about it hypothetically is a cop out.
By assuming he doesn't know what peer review is (something anyone can google) you have guaranteed that someone will find your response douchey. By not giving a peer review you have also been dismissive.
Hmm, I’m not really sure what you’re talking about at this point… I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree. With only the context of Tyson’s video, I felt it was douchey.
Considering he has a reputation for being douchey in literally the same manner, but towards common people, it seemed like par for the course with him.
Any honest, relevant response to Terrence Howard would be interpreted by someone as douchey.
