Debunkery

There's something very satisfying about debunking pseudoscience. James Randi is the gold standard for exposing psychics, faith healers and their ilk. I bring this up because I ran across an article suggesting that Sanskrit isn't an Indo-European language. I call bullshit. And I'm super pleased since I get to do it from a position of [some] expertise.

But I'm nowhere near as good as Randi. Watch an expert at work. It's beautiful.
