Simon Singh’s Bogus Journey

I find myself, like James C, having some difficulty in parsing the offending words in such a way that their primary meaning is not an attribution of dishonesty. Possibly Simon Singh subjectively knows what he intended to mean by them, and it is something other than what they actually mean. That said, he should have available to him a defence of justification, based on the evidently flaky-to-absent evidence base for chiropraxis (and especially its use to deal with juvenile ear infections). Mr Justic Eady has, of course, gone overboard in his analysis of the test that Singh would have to pass; mind reading is not required.
