Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] John Young and his Parrots
Tony, you seem to have missed the point of what Andrew Stafford and
I are
making. John Young has released the photograph publicly and after
scrutiny
by the leading expert in Australia on photo forgery it was found to
have
problems. John Young was asked to present the raw file so this
could be
sorted out and he hasn't responded. Why are you shocked and
dissapointed
that we are responding logically to something John innitiated by going
public with this photo in the first place. The image that appeared
in the
Courier Mail was high resolution so we are not just passing
judgment over
the low res. image posted on his website. There is no "benefit of
the doubt"
to give, because the photo is out there and he needs to explain
away the
problems that have been found. There is nothing for John to say "sorry
folks, my mistake" about if this goes the wrong way for him,
because, well
do I really have to spell it out to you. We are only "badgering him to
release other material if it helps explain something that is
already in the
public domain. This "conjecture" has arrisen by John presenting a
photo(evidence)for what is essentialy a scientific claim. All
scientific
claims must be subject to peer group scrutiny with all data
available for
review.
Cheers Jeff
