第一,我都不知道争论的对手是谁,没法有效说明问题。擅长作presentation的人都知道,准备presentation的第一步最重要:了解你的听众。Who are the audience, and what are they interested in。同样一个问题,对于不同的听众要有不同的阐述重点和方式。
good point.
For current China, I would rather see few "fake" warriors that fight for people than a large slient audience. Even though their real purpose may be very dirty, the impact on the society still could be positive. This kind of person is always under spotlight and disputed from head to foot. They have to face tremendous pressure and unfair arguments. Before you can validly prove their "dirty" purpose, respect and unbiased argument are the best way to treat them.
The fact is that the existence of Fang is a tiny but sharp sword hung above those people who fake, particularly for those famous ones. The behavior of Dr. Xiao is unacceptable. I can't imagine a real respectful doctor could behave so ugly. The easist way to bring back Dr. Xiao's reputation is to provide scientific data. Unfortunately, he CAN'T and went the other way. Anything more needs to be said who is right and who is wrong?
方舟子打假,不能说都做对了,但是客观上遏制了社会不良风气,让作假者有所收敛。不管其动机如何,其正面影响是不可否认的。

As for 转基因, don't think it is bad, unless the gene expresses toxic protein, othewise, it should be OK. Any protein will ultimately be degraded to amino acids after digestion. Before we find any negative evidence, it is hard to get clear conclusion that 转基因 is bad.
