The number of times a scholarly work is cited is a rough indicator of the value accorded it by the scientific community. It is therefore instructive to put "The behavioural ecology of the population of black swan (Cygnus atratus Latham) on a Manawatu dune lake" into Google Scholar and look at the number of citations.

I worked as a mechanic. I watch videos about aviation. That doesn't mean that I am an A&P mechanic

Slandermen, I don't know who that person or non person is.

And I hate to "Google" stuff.

I am not up with a lot of things that you are up with.

Frank I see that you're posting and deleting. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one getting these missives either so they might tend to put some off coming to this blog. As you seem to realize I'm now amongst the most radical of terrain theory guys/gals here so doing that might disrupt that messaging. And I guess we all sell out to a degree, need to keep those degrees as low as possible but judging someone on being a 5% sellout when you have various big guys (you know who they are) selling out in the vicinity of [for appearances about] 90% but in reality something like 150% is maybe targeting the wrong place.

I'm not Samantha. And no marriage is perfect but I'm very happy with mine. I'm more than happy to cooperate with you if you'd calm the rhetoric down and have been copying your posts from elsewhere to put them together for a future post on what the hell is wrong with this world.

But, but, but, black swan watchers are very smart about vaccination!!

Perhaps she's not aware that this latest jab isn't a vaccine at all...
