Don't sell all that good scientific stuff short, Snoredog. Without it, we're left with assumptions like: "Tap water comes out dirty or clean, and that yields a 50-50 chance of drawing dirty tap water."Snoredog wrote: sure sounds like using non-distilled water is the smart thing to do, but if you don't have any empirical data to back that article up then we are not supposed to use it. Ah forget it, we'll use the non-empirical data, that word has be way over used here anyway.
And, of course, the above statement is clearly right or wrong... as are all the statements on this message board. And if each statement has a 50-50 chance of being wrong (by mere virtue of two possibilities), then exactly half the statements on this message board are wrong. No more! No less! Yes, let's leave the notion of empiricism and methodology off the message boards. Let's rely on a common-sense and reason-it-out approach instead! That's what any red-blooded message board needs more of----especially the health and medical message boards! .
