Stupidity, Thy Name is Nussbeck

[David Biedny]

Oy...

Nussbeck has another "image analysis" up on UFO Digestive Track, and I've posted a message up there, though I doubt Dirk Vander Puke will approve it - he didn't post the last one I put up in that other thread where Nussbeck called me a debunker. Here is the link to his latest poorly written, logic-free crapfest, and the text of the response I just posted there:

UFO ORB With Mothership Photo, May Be Best Ever!

----------------

Mrs. Dickey claims she's photographed a visual manifestation from nothing less than God, on demand, but Nussbeck says it's UFOs, because he used his "lab" to do "image analysis". He claims to be able to discern materials such as gold from the image.

I publicly challenge Nussbeck to describe the specifics of his analysis technique - if it's scientific, surely he can demonstrate exactly how it works, what it's meant to derive, and how he arrives at his conclusions based upon the "data" he "uncovers" in the images. Also, in order to arrive at an objective answer, more than one image analyst should review the high-res data and verify any techniques deployed by Nussbeck. Nussbeck has never detailed his professional experience and credentials which make him a credible image analyst. I publicly challenge him to back up his claim to have the technical skills, background and experience to make scientific judgments on ANY type of images.

Without actually examining the full high-res image myself, and speaking with Christine and her husband, I would not offer an opinion regarding the veracity of the claim that the image depicts UFOs, but I AM challenging Nussbeck's ability to make ANY definitive claims regarding this - or any other - image. I can back up my own claim to be a digital imaging expert, but can Nussbeck?

Nice.

BTW David I posted a comment under the article under the name of stan, trying to talk some sense into these morons., It didnt even get acknowledged though.

(although maybe every negative anti Biedny post in those comments was Nussbeck anyway)

PS. Could you or Gene find a way to track IP addresses of posters on a 3rd party website? Then check those against Nussbecks own IP from when he posted in these forums? Many of those comments seem fishy to me)

I posted one under the article also. Ignored.

I saw an alien in my pancake this morning. I have scientifically concluded with my all my many expertises that pancakes are portals to interdimensional worm-holes through which alien doctors enter our world to steal semen and cow anuses for use in Satanic rituals.

"Lab" = Mommy's Basement where he lives.
"Data" = Worthless photos that are likely of bugs, or some other bullshit caught in the frame.
"Image Analysis" = Screwing around with filters in Corel Draw, until he can make it look like a UFO.

Nussbeck is an assclown. He wouldn't even smell competent unless you peed on him.

And because I'm a bit of a masochist today, here's something I just posted on the latest ridiculous UFO Digest/Nussbeck stupidfest, in response to yet more silly pictures of nothing:

I think it's quite fascinating that Mrs. Dickey has stated that she used Photofiltre to enlarge parts of the image. This is a freeware program that tends to introduce significant artifacts into the rescaling process, unlike the more sophisticated algorithms in Photoshop and some other third-party image processing technology such as Resizer (an After Effects plugin from Digital Anarchy, now out of print). One of the specs missing regarding the image is whether or not it's shot in RAW or JPEG file formats. A JPEG original would introduce significant DCT artifacts into the picture, resulting in the types of visual looks I've seen associated with practically ALL of the pictures presented by Nussbeck.

As Nussbeck seems to be ignoring my public challenge to come forward with a demonstration of his "PPP" approach, I'll assume he's also using Photofiltre to run some edge enhancement or other convolution array, box-filter processing to the image to create the totally unscientific results he's getting. Mrs. Dickey, until you decide to let a qualified image processing expert look at your images, there's simply no reason to think that they're showing UFOs of any sort.

lol, David, we both know how She's gonna react to that. This is the lady that thinks God sent her those UFOs after her and her husband prayed for them?

Yeah I have an inkling that she wont respond positively to that comment.

If God were in the business of sending people what they prayed for, The shit that I should have gotten over the last 40 years would make the warehouse at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, look pretty paltry.

It's always interesting to watch the English language grow and change, but I'm a bit worried that the term "debunker" is used more and more to describe reasonable, intelligent, curious people. The established meaning of debunker, basically a tool who supports the official party line with whatever moronic crap he can cobble together, is still very much in use, so there is bound to be a lot of confusion for people who are just starting to learn about the UFO phenomenon. It's gotten so bad that anyone with any sense has been accused of being a debunker. Recently, Stan Friedman was referred to as a debunker by some idiot or other. Hell, I've been called a debunker and a spook by a few retards, and I'm nobody at all in the UFO universe! I'm your basic guy in the sticks, with an Internet connection and a respectable collection of books on the subject. Like a lot of other people here in this forum, I don't "believe" in UFOs because I've seen them and I know they exist. People believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, various deities, and so on. I don't believe in the existence of my house; I know it's real. Anyway, maybe I should be proud of being called a debunker, since it puts me in some impressive company, at least in the minds of some poor fools.

I'm not usually a grammar snob, but I stopped reading when I saw "Alien's" for the second time, instead of "aliens". If someone claims to be a writer, the least they can do is know when, and when not to use a capital letter, and when, and when not to use an apostrophe. Yeah, petty I know .

Did you notice he also doesn't use the apostrophe for possessives?
Except for the one case where he shouldn't, with "it's".
It's very sad.
If he's a native English speaker the punctuation is appalling (though sadly no longer unusual), but the idiosyncratic capitalisation is just bizarre.

As for the content...um, it's just insane. Utterly delusional.

 

[Kevin Daly]

Did anyone else notice the somewhat suspicious fact that the fawning comment by "Tony James" features the exact same oddities of punctuation and capitalisation?

It'd be fun to read this guy's Amazon reviews to see how similar they are, but frankly I can't be arsed.

 

[Tommy Allison]

Nussbeck is yet another assclown in the annals of all things UFO. He brings absolutely nothing to the table, and as far I'm concerned is the punchline to the joke of Image Analysis.

I wish I had the credentials that Biedny has, that way I could truly humiliate the guy. Maybe I could write David's insults for him as that seems to be where my real skillset is.

 

[AnnetteMarie]

spontaneous insults are an art, Tommy, and not to be denigrated. you do quite well already.

 

[Stillborn]

Nussbeck. He's the guy I posted about offering a nice cash reward for some crap photos, right? Threatened to sue The Paracast? If so, yeah, not impressed with the guy.

Nevermind, didn't think I'd read more of this thread but did. It seems he's the same guy.
