Who is going to tell him a laser isn't nessecarly a turbolaser.

That site was sad, even if it got the overall answer correct, SW would win.

This guy is a complete moron who totally ignores science, numbers, and on-screen evidence altogether. Take a look at these:

B.J. Horn on his website wrote: In the Star Wars universe, it is more difficult to draw a direct numerical estimate. Since Star Wars is a science fantasy, rather than science fiction (a la ST), concrete numbers are not provided. However, since the analysis of the "phaser" doesn't seem to imply any decided advantage, I offer the following advantage ratios (to be used later in a direct side by side comparison) Being generous to ST, the ratio is about 10 to 1, or that phasers are ten times more powerful than a laser. Being generous to SW, the ratio would be closer to 1 to 1.

So Star Wars is "less scientific" than Star Trek? This is the most hypocrite claim I've ever seen. Could he ever understand that to compare SW and ST, there had to be common grounds to analyze both. Also, I wonder where the fuck he pulled out those "10 to 1" and "1 to 1" numbers, out of his ass?

B.J. Horn on his website wrote: I don't want to hear irate comments about how stupid I am.

In other words, he is saying "I make stupid claim but please don't tell me so" excuse. How pathetic.

I guess it's true what they say: ignorance is bliss.

He just knows he can't defend his bullshit, so he'd rather avoid the criticism entirely.

You know, Mike, I've just found another, funnier claim he made:

B.J. Horn wrote: I am judging this hypothetical conflict based on the facts presented, and not purely on my own personal beliefs.

yet he also wrote:

Of course, TESB asteroids calcs is NOT fact, since, by his own personal belief, Star Wars is a science fantasy rather than science fiction

I find his annalysis was a good effort except that his lack of anylitical aproach greatly weakens his argument

I remeber seeing this before. Just totally lame.

At least he admits the Federation still doesn't stand a chance even with massive favoritism on his part

I'll give him that at least.

C'mon, give him a break.... while he didn't put a whole lot of scientific effort into his work, at least he's not a rabid bullshitting Trekkie who'll claim that phasers give out "megayottawatts" of damage.

But then, I always get really nice and forgiving when I'm drunk.

Star Trek only has one advantage, and that is Cpt. Kirk's character shield.

This subject has already been done. The man responsible is still a moron. Thread locked.
