Why don't people believe the Mccanns story of Abduction ?

[Mr Gray]

I evaluated your evidence earlier as to what Redwood said. You had none.

then you are not very good at evaluating evidence..... I put that statement...together with the remit of SY...together with the not suspects quote...together with everything I have seen and read to come to the conclusion the McCanns are not involved

[ShiningInLuz]

some of us...selection criteria...have you ever been taught how to evaluate evidence...

some will say yes...some will say no...that's where we start...try googling..."how to evaluate evidence"


as for professional career...some evaluate evidence routinely in their profession

Where do I start?

I've got a honours degree in science.  It happens to be from one of the top universities in the UK, but let me put this to one side.  I've got an honours degree in science, and you ask me if I have ever been taught to evaluate evidence?  What do you expect me to say to this? I spent all that time at the university and it taught me diddly?

Feel free to Google 'how to evaluate evidence'.  That is your right, if it is the best you can do.

You were asked simple questions, such as what professional career was.  Or 'selection criteria'.  You have clarified neither.  That is also your right and your choice.

Your response is difficult for me to try to interpret, whilst staying within the rules of the forum.

It definitely defies logic.

Honours degree in science doesn't mean a lot unfortunately..... you were spoonfed information information...told what books and papers to read. It isn't until you move on from undergraduate level that you start to educate yourself...deciding which scientific papers are valid as evidence and which are not... I have no intention of revealing my professional background...too many clues and my identity may be easy to find...



you certainly have  a poor understanding of lie detectors for someone with such a background

Arrant nonsense. You posted a statement which you attributed to DCI Redwood but he didn't say it. That's why providing citations is very important because people can then read the original and evaluate it for themselves.

so based on your scientific background...how reliable would a lie detector taken by Kate be ....

That's what you get from 1% solutions.

and what has the person who criticises everyone elses knowledge of statistics come up with...absolutely zero...you really should shut up or put up

[Mod] Please tone down the language.

[Mod] Please tone down the language.

That poster needs to take his own advice.

Claiming 1% as the 'probability' of non-abduction, yet unable to produce any supporting evidence for that value, other than personal opinion.

[Mr Gray]

[Mod] Please tone down the language.

i would say "put up or shut up" is a reasonable term...far less insulting than your own use of the word "liar"

you still have not grasped the basic tenet of that claim...it applies only if the parents are ruled out... I have explained it to you several times...if the parents are ruled out what would you put the odds of abduction as ...perhaps you should answer the question or stop criticising it

[G-Unit]

you have posted statements attributed to the McCanns that they didn't say........

I have no doubt you drew my attention to it, just as I have drawn your attention to your mistake.

[Alice Purjorick]

Thank you.  Very informative.

No worries.

[Mr Gray]

I have no doubt you drew my attention to it, just as I have drawn your attention to your mistake.

as I said...considering you continually accusing the mccanns on the basis of things you think they said...but have no proof that they said ...your criticism is more than a little weak
