Re: Re: The Pedosmile: Do Pedophiles Have a Certain Smile?

I'm wondering what your actual rant is about.  It seems clear that you are adept at throwing insults, but not so clear on voicing an actual objection.  I thought the article was quite specific in pointing out the fundamental risks in such a simple technique and was guardedly qualified in emphasizing the importance of establishing whether such a "pedosmile" actually existed.

There is little doubt (and the article emphasized this), that the use of such external cues can be quite risky and that it is largely uncertain that anything useful can be derived from this approach.  In particular, the point was made that, given the little information we have about pedophiles, then perhaps (just perhaps), this might be an approach that allows for identification of some early genetic (or biological) factors.

There's no question that this is something that could be abused if it was conducted in an unqualified fashion because it does lend itself to ignorant labeling of individuals for no better reason than how they might smile.

If the article had not been aware of these risks, then perhaps you might have a point.  However, in the absence of any coherent criticism, it is impossible to tell what point you're trying to make.
