People often choose the wrong things to be afraid of. Lots of people fear flying too, even though it's abundantly clear that flying is the safest way to travel. What people really should fear is cars. |

Quote: wikipedia said The problem Im seeing is that you quoted wikipedia which is seriously the first mistake most college students make when it comes to higher learning. Its not that there's something wrong with wikipedia but its not to be taken seriously if anyone wants a discussion on nuclear reactors and reactor design. its easy enough to read so a 7th grader can learn from but most academics frown when they see a citation from there because its over generalized information which does not take into account many years of knowledge that cannot fit on a web page short enough to hold someones attention span. Nuclear reactor design is not that simple. Thats why I dont want bother even getting into details because Im pretty sure Im missing a lot of facts.

Dude, I'm gonna stop you right there. Do not even try and lecture me on writing papers. I've been writing A-grade college papers for 5 years. Wikipedia is sufficient for internet discussions. If you want peer reviewed articles, write an essay or read a book, but get off the internet. Unless you're on a research-level forum, this point is moot. The link you posted wouldn't even qualify. It has a author and a date, which is good. But it's still not on a peer reviewed database which means it's not good enough for a primary source in a research paper.

Yeah, dude I know what you're talking about. Sorry I came off harsh, I get sucked into these things way too easily. "Materialistic things can't bring you happiness. Except Marshmellows--which are pretty much the same thing." |
