For example, part of the inactivists» success stems from using (misleading) talking points that are simple and thus amenable to
brute repetition, such as «climate changes!»
To study which genes are active and which are dormant, they use
the brute repetition of sequencing steps to capture an adequate number of messenger RNA sequences, which are transcribed from switched - on genes.
I think it is over the heads of Myron Ebell's intended audience, however, and it may be necessary to write an overview — at high - school level — that explains the relative value of inductive and deductive methods in science, use of multi-compartment models in general, the sorts of problems they regularly entail (formulation, measurement, n - body calculation,
brute - force computer simulation, experimental
repetition, real - world validation, emergent properties, catastrophic regime - shift, assignment of probabilities, etc.) and how these are variously or provisionally overcome, according to the science you are practicing.
