:twocents::maddening::twocents: For the record: I AM BIASED! Don't attack a Medical Technologist :seeya: as an individual who doesn't "know" chemistry.....who the heck do you think determines & confirms the accuracy of your cholesterol, glucose, triglycerides levels?:waitasec: :maddening: HARRUMPH, those example tests ARE chemistry!:banghead::banghead:
I :innocent: do believe that JAB is attacking Dr. Vass as a "non-scientist" per se with the greatest HOPES that somebody :waitasec: on the jury will HEAR "NON-SENSE".:floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
The great "he is not a chemist" debate by JAB WILL continue UNLESS and UNTIL the SA itemizes the course background of Arpad Vass, Ph. D. and demonstrates that the vocation "chemist" is NOT exclusive of those with an in depth knowledge (working, active, hands-on in any aspect) of chemistry! AND to further that argument, there are MANY types of "chemists" as noted by the defense when JA called Barry Logan, Ph.D a "chemist" vs a "toxicologist". :truce:
Regarding the SCIENCE of any of these specialists, the INSTRUMENT (GC/MS) under debate (please N.B. Jose, it is NOT regarded as a :maddening: "machine" :maddening: by the daily USERS!) has been a workhorse of the scientific community for many years, :great:inclusive within ACADEMIC undergrad & graduate courses; clinical and research laboratories utilize the instrument too! :woohoo:
...by JB's logic, only a chemist could be trusted to read, translate, transcribe or measure the results of the chromatograph (not 'chromatogram', JB, though that would be interesting) tests. Maybe a food chemist? They make'em, you know, these food chemists:

I don't know about you guys but I see food chemists reading chromatographs all the time. I just wish they'd use one to figure out why saurkraut tastes so much better than it smells. Maybe they could use the results to further efforts to make saurkraut smell more like bacon. ..
