DMcG,
Your questions and rules are a valiant and proper effort.
pete's refusal to abide by or acknowledge the importance of them highlights the fact that he is unwilling or incapable of discussing science, thus making the entire exercise completely futile.
But I too have greatly enjoyed how this thread has made me (and others?) think carefully about the nature of science (and the nature of non-science).

Penny S.,
Another great question. Expect a dismissive (and insulting - whether he intends it or not) answer.
