Default Stereophile still under Randi's radar

John Atkinson is not expressing 'opinion' in Stereophile when
he allows the publication of articles which claim that magic
stones and tice clocks work.


When did I do that, Chevdo? Following Stereophile's coverage of
the Tice Clock, Tice canceled all of its advertising and has
had nothing to do with the magazine since. Regarding the Shakti
Stone, I had it reviewed by two people, one a high-end true
believer, the other a skeptic. Both reported similar impressions,
which I admit I found surprising. You can find the entirety of
Stereophile's coverage of these products in the magazine's free
on-line archives at www.stereophile.com, BTW..

That is a misrepresentation of fact, not opinion.


Nope, it is quite definitely the publishing of opinion.

It's also known as fraud.


You allowed to be printed, priase for a device for which you have
(allegedly) the capability to measure the effects of, but did not do so.
The fact that it's efficacy was never verified is at the very least stupid
and sloppy, and at worst an endorsement of snake oil, not that that's
anything new.
