Imagine writing a scientific paper that's deliberately full of nothing but nonsense.

Or even imagine programming a computer to automatically generate such a paper more

nonsensical than any human could manage.

And then, once you've done that, imagine sending this paper to actual scientific journals

to try and get it published.

Is there ever a case where this might be the right thing to do?

We're going to find out right now on Skeptoid.

Hi, this is Ray Maliyatsi from Car Talk.

Since you appreciate the facts, you know that Skeptoid brings the rigors of science to

the world of wacko theories.

But do I know about wacko theories?

Well, my brother and I are responsible for all of them.

But you can combat wacko theories and support science journalism at Skeptoid with your

old car.

Now, even your old car can be donated to Skeptoid and turned it to more of the podcasts

that you love.
