Your remarks are only suitably addressed to some researcher
doing a single experiment. The scientific proof of God is
based on ALL THE RESULTS of the entire 100 year history of
Psychometric Factor Analysis. See y other post where it explains
how the 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-Factor models are ALL EXPLAINED.
Now you point out that this inaccuracy and that inaccuracy
may affect any given result.... but over 100 years, and 250,000
experiments these irregularities average out. today there is clear
consensus that there "is a structural model" at the 2nd order,
and here is clear consensus that "Eysenck's E,N,P" are the first
3 Factors. Of course, IQ is also undeniably established also.
As I point out in the other post (an hour ago) the other 10
Factors are "oblique" while only E,N,P,g (g=iq) are ORTHOGONAL.
Hammond 1994, announces the explanation of this mystery, being
that all the Factors are symmetry axes of a CUBE because the
BRAIN IS CUBIC. Therefore, there will b 3-Orthogonal Factors,
and 10 oblique factors and they will fit a CUBE exactly.... and
Hammond shows that the data confirms this all 100 years worth).
Finally, IQ is the 4th (Time) dimension.
A copy of my published paper explaining all this is located
at:

I don't expect anybody to get their feet down off the desk
and actually read this paper, of course. What i realize is
that NOBODY will ever read it until all of a sudden torch
wielding mobs of Creationists and Fundamentalist religious
zealots start storming the governor's mansion as they
apparently did to the Kansas Board of Education... claiming
that they have found a scientific proof of God and
Fundamentalist truth against the Evolutionists etc.
To bad I have to do this the hard way... but there is simply no
other way to get you people out of he way so we can improve
the world for the poor and the suffering.
snip... rest of For His Glory's elementary harangue
about the pitfalls of Factor Analysis.
