Abstract:
Most debates in science and the humanities that cannot be settled are not about truth, nor about data, but about beliefs and world views. Philippe Leick's comment on entanglement models of homeopathy are a good example. Because of this, no argument, however, convincing to some, will settle that debate. The only thing that can resolve it is a large cultural shift. My own ideas about non-local models, for a whole category of possibly similar events of which homeopathy is but one example, albeit a nice and methodologically well established one, are meant to contribute to this shift. Without such a shift, and I am quite frank here about my own bias, I do not see much hope for our culture, indeed for our world as a whole
