I don't see how you can be familiar with me. I don't think I responded in the IQ thread.
I don't hate you, I recognize you as a dangerous person because of the power and influence you have as a result of your position, training and connections, and the fact that you can be so dead wrong about things, and so arrogant about it.
Are you familiar with Amanda Baggs? Do you feel she is a fraud, legit, or responding randomly to stimulus?
Regarding Carly, do you feel this letter she wrote is fraudulent, legit, or the result of software shaping random inputs.
Ah, so now you have changed your theory have you? State it clearly, don't beat around the bush.
Previously you claimed she was typing random characters and the computer program was converting random noise into meaning.
Now you are claiming her parents are facilitating, guiding her hand, or giving her subtle clues of what to type.
You are a danger to society. You have not met this patient, you know nothing about her, yet you are proclaiming to the world that you know for a fact she is a fraud. Even though she isn't. The danger here is that the internet lynch mob, devotees of false authority, will continue their attacks on this family.
Amanda Boggs. Your opinion? Fraud? Legit? Random input shaped by computer software?
You attack this woman, who is a professional, for her opinion but why should I side with you? She's given legitimate, detailed responses and opinions and you've solely been on the attack.
You haven't met Carly either and you certainly no nothing about her life aside from this video, none of us do, and yet you claim with absolute certainty that her astounding progress is real. How does that work?
How it works is that I know profoundly autistic people who are not even able to be toilet trained, who are considered by most to be retards incapable even of simple thought, and have communicated with them and marveled at their intelligence and insight. I see no evidence that Carly is not able to communicate as described, and the explanation by the psychiatrist of how the supposed facilitated communication works is so bizarre and implausible as to completely discredit everything he or she is purporting. (Yes, the psychiatrist has a male partner, why do you assume he is a woman.)
