Were the dog alerts in any way significant?

[OxfordBloo]

There is in this thread. The English sent their best dogs over to Portugal and the world was watching!

And who was the author, what was the publication, how reliable is the source?

[OxfordBloo]

Each case has its own set of variables.

Yes. After Clever Hans the plough horse they did follow ups with

Cart horses
Race horses
Shire horses
Shetlands
Dartmoor
Rocking horses and
Clothes horses


NOT.

Such findings generalise.

You have merely replaced me in this WUM affection, Alfred, it has one objective and imo that is to cause as much friction as possible ... it is really doing its best to disrupt the forum which is why I treat it with the contempt it deserves and ignore it.

Off topic.

Now back to this:

Is it your view that it is quite impossible for conscious or unconscious handler bias to be a factor in Eddie's alerts?  If so, why do you believe this?

There must be an awful lot of pressure to find evidence, on the shoulders of a man that is charging as much as Martin does.

He must want to please his new friends and employers.  Maybe they convinced him that The Mccanns were guilty?
 

Is it possible that unconscious handler bias could have been caused by this pressure?



Because he sure got it wrong about Ccat in that cupboard.

And he sure called Eddie back so many times to the Mccanns car.

It has turned into Crufts again I see. I suppose it should be expected it being an English site and all.
On the whole it would be preferable were it North Korean in this particular instance.
I will catch you next week to see who won best of breed.

It is for those who are citing research into "handler bias" to apply this "research" to the "on topic" case and show how each alert or non-alert was manipulated or affected by "handler bias".

These were English dogs so if you think the English wanted to nail the McCanns then you won't think much about the English taking over this case now and searching for a body because of the English dogs. Bloody English

You do not understand science.

Information generalises as the nose and the relationship are the same for any scent dog.

Apply your " information generalises as the nose and the relationship are the same for any scent dog"
to all the specific alerts / non-alerts in the case and explain how you feel "handler bias" manifested itself.

Why do you stay here if you dislike us so much?

No need to answer that if you dont want to
