Some time after the PU revolution ...
PA is driving down a road when stopped by a cop.
Cop: You were speeding, here's your ticket.
PA: But I wasn't! I was only doing 35 kpm!
Cop: A 'quant' fanatic eh? (slaps cuffs on PA, and hauls him off to the slammer)

IT visits his doctor.
Doctor: I'm writing you a prescription for {names an extremely powerful medicine, with dangerous side effects}, for your high blood pressure.
IT: But my BP is 120/80!
Doctor: As PU Comrade VdL, among others, has proven, maths and numbers are not necessary to establish the truth of matters physical; I am an accredited PU doctor, so if I say you have a high BP, you have a high BP

PA returns home, to find an anxious desktop PC salesperson awaiting him.
salesperson: I'm here to take back the PC we sold you some time ago, as part of our product recall; we're terribly sorry that your PC doesn't work
PA: But my desktop works just fine! Only last night I was online posting to Thunderbolt Forums! The app said my CPU was giving me 95% performance, against its observed max of 3.8 GHz!
salesperson: Oh dear, I didn't realise you were one of those 'give me the numbers' nuts that IT warned us all against (grabs PC and runs off, in terror)

Yes, this is a parody. Does it sting? No, really, does it?

So, remind me again:
* are there PU/PC/EU proponents who claim to have been working on the 'electric comet' idea for decades?
* do PU/PC/EU proponents have at their disposal such tools as desktop PCs; math packages such as Mathematica; online (free) physics classes; GB or TB of high quality data from hundreds of spaceprobes and ground observations of comets, the IPM, etc; the papers of Alfvén; ...?
* how many papers, with quantitative analyses (even OOM ones), on the predictions of their 'electric comet' idea?
* how many papers, with quantitative analyses (even OOM ones), on their analyses of historical comet/IPM/etc data?
* which thread did the BA close??
