Handwriting analysis = pseudoscience
The news story that made my day (and this one with a picture) -- doodles found on Tony Blair's desk were analyzed by psychologists and handwriting experts only to turn out to belong to Bill Gates. Best quote:
We look forward with amusement to explanations by a variety of psychologists and graphologists of how various characteristics ascribed to the prime minister on the basis of the doodles, such as 'struggling to concentrate', 'not a natural leader', 'struggling to keep control of a confusing world' and 'an unstable man who is feeling under enormous pressure', equally apply to Mr Gates.
We are astonished that no-one who ran the story thought to ask No 10 if the doodles were in fact Mr Blair's, particularly as it was obvious to anyone the handwriting was totally different.
Amen to you damn pseudoscientists who've had your stupid handwriting evidence admitted into court! C'mon, what weasel words do you have to get out of this one? How does this translate into 'struggling to concentrate', 'not a natural leader', 'struggling to keep control of a confusing world' and 'an unstable man who is feeling under enormous pressure'? Die, fakies, die.
