I like shows where they blow stuff up.
And show sharks. But not blow up sharks. I've heard that GWs don't like dolphins, because dolphins can kill GWs by ramming them in the gills. I completely agree though, the MB methodology was unpossible. But using real dolphins and seals as bait would not make for good TV. Dolphins rescue surfer |

That's not the methodological problem I had. I don't really have a problem with their methodology being incomplete; it is a TV show doing informal study, I'm fine with that.
It is when they say their methodology is demonstrating something that it isn't. The one that got me with the dolphin/great white was at the end they said "to show that the great white really is put off by our fake dolphin we took it out of the water and look they went crazy for the bait." That in no way shows the great whites were put off by a dolphin, at most it shows they were put off by a previously inert object in the water suddenly moving towards them just as they were about to bite food. At least in the 20 minutes I watched they did nothing to show that the result is different if that object is shaped like a dolphin instead of just floating debris or something else. It isn't a big thing but they misrepresent what the value of what they're demonstrating on a regular basis. |
