    Scientists should use these guys as some sort of universal measure,
    they're so completely utterly predictable.

    Of course its predictable, its common sense.

    So, what exactly have we learnt here apart from the fact that you have a really big hard-on about a solitary article from one publication in 2005 and are exhibiting classic denial about the rest of JD's media record?

    Funny thing is, for all the genius of JD's only correct prediction thus far, someone following his advice in 2005 and refraining from purchasing then would still be worse off now, despite the fall in house prices. Ouch.

    You have a really interesting philosophical stance on 'proof', or at least how it applies to Saint JD's prophetic foresight. Scientists, thinkers... they all have a lot to learn really.


    No. What I have is a scanned newspaper article from 2005 where JD predicts house prices would crash in 2007.

    Nothing philosophical about it. :)
    Just cold hard undeniable facts.
    Yet here you are denying it.
    Bonkers.

    Hardly. Read post #22.

    Although I am curious about the degree of relevance that a prediction made in 2005 that house prices would crash in 2007 has with a thread about a newspaper article from 2008.

    Sour grapes fall back position? :rotfl: :rotfl:

    You mean the straw man argument you fabricated Robmatic?

    Apparently I subscribe to something simply because you write it down now? :rotfl:

    Don't you know rob, you're supposed to use slabs of stone for that, not the internet.
    Now theres a philosophical question eh. :)
