Bruce Budowle Response to PCAST 6/27/17

[Boyd Baumgartner]

Here's a thoughtful analysis of the PCAST report by Bruce Budowle, Director at the Center for Human Identification at University of North Texas.

the TL;DR synopsis is: The PCAST report is a policy document that cloaks itself in science and commits some overgeneralizations. That being said, it neither outlines best practices as a policy document would, nor is it itself a scientific document which ultimately limits its utility.

Mr Budowle says it like this:

The academic and professional standings of the PCAST Committee members are not a substitute for good practices (none of which are documented). No one should take seriously this report because it has little substance to support its contentions.

What are your thoughts about the document?
