RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Donations so far: $2900Goal: $6000

Hiya Lucho. What'cha working on? Tetronian you're clueless 18:04, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
A moon hoax article I am going to copy a little from Wikisynergy. I wrote the article there, but now I want to put it at a website that it more active. Thank you for the welcome. Lucho (talk) 18:06, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Burn the electrical engineer![edit]

The square root of -1 is called i, not j! Mindless harmonic Hoover! 19:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Haha, it is j in electronics, of course. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:02, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
I do not understand what you are saying. Lucho (talk) 16:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
I thought complex numbers were important in electrical engineering. Mindless harmonic Hoover! 16:43, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

The Revelation[edit]

The flag argument was a bit of a WTF? moment, and generally I felt that Lucho was playing too nice (no Commie proclamtions, etc). It didn't cross my mind that it may be an impostor - I dismissed the strange behaviour as a deliberate tactic. You can count me as "not sceptical enough". :) --ZooGuard (talk) 18:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

The most inherent issue I found with trying to pretend to be "Lucho" is that all his more technical-based arguements go 100% against what I, as an AS9100-certified mechanical engineer, know to be solid truths. It is one thing when Lucho asserts, for example, that the estimated velocity of the Apollo, based on the films, was much less than NASA says it was. It is completely another to do the math and show your work. I can assert that gravity doesn't exist, but to prove it as such and show your work is completely different. Since I did a thesis for my engineering program using actual math, physics, and statics to debunk the land hoax myths back in college, it was therefore difficult to re-program my brain to say the opposite.

What?? You're not the real Lucho!! Hey man. I'm really disappointed. :-( --BobSpring is sprung! 21:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
