I begin to doubt you can even see it.


You're funny. I told you not long ago that scientists had begun studying radioactive decay more than a century ago (heard of the Curies?). By your own reasoning, because the estimates then or at other times in the past are not the same as the estimates today using modern equipment, the decay rates have changed by the difference between the estimates. This is about as logical as saying "When I measured this grain of sand with a ruler, I estimated that it was so big; now that I'm looking at it in a microscope, I get a different estimate. OMG, the sand grain changed its size!!!"
I'm reporting this outright lie to Bex and Russ.

Either you misrepresent yourself as one who read the information, or you misrepresent the measurements as being old. In any case, you have grossly misrepresented my position.

The measurements in those studies are all modern, using state-of-the-art equipment and methods. The margins-of-error are duly noted.

Because you don't want to admit the truth (or even simply shut up) this is what we get. You clearly demonstrate that you do not intend to participate honestly. No doubt whatsoever - none - zero exists in my mind. If your goal is to disgust people, congratulations.
