That was the beauty of 'global warming' theory,it could never produce
a wrong answer as it could explain droughts and floods,heatwaves and
severe cold snaps and even have variable assertions where it morphs
from 'global warming' into 'climate change'.The same with the 'theory
of gravity' and the idea that falling objects are somehow the same as
lunar and planetary dynamics,can explain every known observation yet
nobody has ever traced how Newton arrived at this overreaching
conclusion (I certainly have).Being wrong ,making mistakes and going
in the wrong direction is a human thing and that is perfectly normal
however arranging things so that you can never be wrong is something
else and that is what distinguishes the vicious strain of empiricism
from all other human endeavors and why you drones like Newton so much.

Empirical groupthink is an exercise in mediocrity,it tries to isolate
understanding of nature to mathematicians who make themselves look
foolish in trying to treat motions and structures on planetary scales
on the same level as experimental or human scales.This is why none of
you can state something so simple as the Earth turns once in a day
like normal people or even why the issue of a planet 'definition' was
as stupid as trying to 'define' a human being.

So why 'Super Earths' ?,the answer is not so obvious.
