If it were 15 years ago, wouldn’t you be the same person criticizing a paper on accelerating expansion and saying “you can predict anything you want”?

Downvoted for comparing hard experimental data on the expansion of the universe with cooked up models by people in need of grant money.

  Downvoted for obfuscating whatever point you may have had about the difference between theoretical and experimental papers with petty insinuations about corruption by economic incentives.

    Downvoted for telling people you’re downvoting, contributing to a trend within this thread of increased emphasis on semantics and insults.....(I’m not proud of what I’ve done here)

      (If you can tell ahead of time that you are not proud of what you are about to do it is usually best to not do it.)

        Downvoted because of a nice progression −4 ⇒ −3 ⇒ −2 ⇒ −1 ⇒ 0 (this!)

        Voted away from 0 (currently downvoted) because I object to people downvoting me to make pretty patterns and so have a preference for their pattern preference at my expense not being satisfied.
        
        Also: commented because if gRR does manage somehow to enforce his pattern preference it will ensure that I will be upvoted.

        Upvoted to keep the justice and the pattern. (Will remove this soon)

        No luck, the pattern’s shifted: it is currently −6 ⇒ −5 ⇒ −4 ⇒ −3 ⇒ −2 ⇒ −1 (parent) ⇒ 0 (this!)
        What links here?

        Sounds good. I really didn’t like the comment which you place at −6!
