sufficient evidence. Scientists are good examples of these. We can also use the word "skeptic" to mean "skeptic-activist;" those people who make it their business to expose scam artists and dishonest religous promotors, and who teach the public the basics of rational thinking via authoring books and giving lectures. Good examples of the second type of skeptic are the many members of groups like JREF and CSICOP. There is some overlap between the two meanings of "skeptic" of course. Some scientists are debunkers. And most (but not all) debunkers are faithful practitioners of Scientific Skepticism. On the other hand, the vast majority of scientific skepticism practitioners never spend time engaging creationists in public debates, or trying to expose the tricks that scam artists use to take money from the gullible. --
1677:. It's a fine painting. I would guess that the argument is between two ship captains, about the best route to bring a ship into a harbor, under some particular condition of tides or storms; or maybe there was a shipwreck and a lawyer is trying to understand what arguments could be raised in court, regarding the loss from that shipwreck. I recognize that beliefs exist among sailors, and perhaps some scholar has shown that the captains are arguing about something that isn't easily proven one way or the other. Can someone verify that this particular painting was about "debunking"? 1519:
not the case when someone "just happens to render invalid" some claim by doing the actual research (for example Joe Nickell and his paranormal investigations). It simply can't be the case that every person just happening to have different conclusion is automatically a "debunker" if he says that conclusion to the public. For example Nickell is not a fraud exposer, he merely states humans have limitations. "Sham: To trick; to cheat; to deceive or delude with false pretenses".
298: 319: 424: 399: 488: 470: 34: 267: 1295:, there is only medicine and claptrap. If something actually works beyond the well known placebo effect it gets adopted as a medical procedure, compound, or process and it is scientifically studied. "Alternative" beliefs, notions, occultism, superstition, and wishful thinking are not medicine, ergo harboring an article classification as "Alternative Medicine" is a major flaw in Knowledge. 542: 1012:"I insist that we do not say debunkers only debunk things they "believe to be false" as that is redundant." Wrong. You may not believe the thing to be false until you have debunked it. MartinPHI is also wrong, "purported psychic" isn't redundant, according to his own argument ("Whereas...." which isn't even a complete sentence. 660:"debunking" is not always justified or done in good faith. In some circles the term "skeptibunker" is used to deride so-called skeptics and debunkers who do not stick to facts and objectivity but use every political trick in the book to try to discredit ideas they find inconvenient. Definitely don't merge. 1317:
Half the body of the article concerns so-called "backfire effects" as written about in the Debunking Handbook. So what is this handbook? Well, it doesn't appear on Amazon, at all. The link is a free PDF file which contains all of 7 numbered pages. (Is it a book or a pamphlet?) In an article where the

So "debunking" can mean anything from "exposing the falseness of" to "exposing a sham". According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary: ""Debunk" itself often suggests that something is not merely untrue, but also a sham"". So that means there is the accusation of being a "fraud exposer" but that is
1220:
The entire Wiki entry needs major work. The dictionary description of contemporary usage says that debunking is "esp. by ridicule" which is wrong, modern debunking of an organized sense specifically refrains from ridicule. Indeed, the Skeptics Society chaired by Mr. Michael Shermer the Professor of

618:
They certainly are different. Two separate definitions of the word "skeptic" are in widespread general use, and the terms "scientific skeptic" and "debunker" are shorthand for these two definitions. We can use the word "skeptic" to refer to people who only adopt beliefs which are supported by
659:
Worse than that. Some debunkers have a POV that is not scientific or objective, and have often been accused of insincerity or ulterior motives, e.g. financial ones. I think "sock puppets" is the term used here on Knowledge for such people. Don't merge; in fact the article should note that

I'm very troubled by this section. It is longer than the rest of the article, yet covers a minor, arguably tangential aspect of debunking. Looks like someone trying promote the Debunkers Handbook. I'm not sure it could be justified as a See Also link, much less a major section of this

a "purported psychic" because it is redundant, I insist that we do not say debunkers only debunk things they "believe to be false" as that is redundant. By definition, a true debunker is one who debunks false claims. If a debunker debunks true claims they aren't debunking. QED.
984:
That's fine. But we have to characterise what they debunk somehow. The way you would have it, it's as if the claims debunked are always "false, exaggerated, unscientific or pretentious" in fact. Whereas a psychic is a cultural artefact, not necessarily one who has powers.
1008:
Jesus effing Christ on a bicyclye, it's "artifact" not "artefact". Just say "a true debunker is one who _attempts_ to debunk false claims." You could say "attempts to debunk claims" but it wouldn't sound as good. If he fails, the claim wasn't provably false.
1261:
adam savage and jamie hyneman are listed as physics majors but i cannot find a source that confirms this and their approach to the shows is more indicative of a special effects background rather than that of an academic and exhaustive experimenter
1056:
Also in the same contentious spirit that is displayed in the above entries, may I add a much-belated note that "artefact" is a well-respected variant of "artifact"; it would be good if we checked the dictionary before going all effing on Knowledge.
