Dylan Avery's Biggest Blunders: the Poll

[chipmunk stew]

To quantify some of the ideas put forth on CHF's thread (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?p=2709586#post2709586), I give you the Dylan Avery Big Blunder Poll.

[DavidJames]

I choose the Black Box Museum Adventure. It highlights his frantic over zealous attempts at finding the smoking gun along with his pathetic inept and careless attempts at research (which in this case, as many, involves no research at all). While that describes much of his evidence, I like the BBMA because it would have been so simple for him to validate his claim before he shot off his mouth.

What? No "Ha Ha Boxcutters" option? I call no fair.

[DGM]

I had to go with the chimney soot. I think that showed that he's will to throw out anything and see if it sticks. His own followers were able to figure it out after awhile.

[DarkMagician]

When they call you retarded over and over and you think they're on your side... that's pretty high on the blunder scale.

I only had 20 options, and Planet X is required. Can I help it if his blunders overflow the poll? :con2:

[The Silver Shadow]

Can't there be rankings of his biggest blunders? It's so bloody difficult to choose.

[Foolmewunz]

For sheer enjoyability, I chose the Kevin Smith smackdown. It was close, though, between that and the "simile" interview.

[CHF]

Yeah I agree with Silver Shadow. We need to be able to pick a top 3.

As for my #1, I'm torn between the similie interview, the roof-top soot and Dylan's silence during the Hardfire debate.

BTW, that last one should be in the poll.

What's the museum black box blunder?

I chose the original Loose Change, because all of his other blunders have crawled forth from the nether regions of this one blunder.

How bout the fact that "the Truth" needs 7 Editions, 12 Versions, 67 Cuts, 182 Re-cuts...

Okay I'm exaggerating, but seriously, how can there be more than one verion of the "truth"?

What's the museum black box blunder?


Dylan had started a thread about how an exhibit at the New York State Museum contained pictures of the black boxes from flights 11 and 175, thereby proving that the government had tried (and failed) in hiding them.

After a quick email to one of the exhibition directors, it was determined that the pictures of the black boxes were used by the recovery teams at Ground Zero to aid the workers there in looking for them. They were not from the actual flights. Just images of other black boxes used by American Airlines and United.

Readers Digest version.

Seconded.
