All Aboard the James Tour Damage Control Train!

James was not happy with how badly he was humiliated by his intellectual superiors at Harvard, so he is back at it with some damage control! Apart from pretending the Cambridge Round Table was a "debate", and that he somehow "won the debate", his tactic is now to accuse Lee Cronin of hype and plagiarism with the help of Hector Zenil, a mediocre scientist with an axe to grind. So let's talk with Lee a bit, so he can refute these accusations, as well as talk about how Jim's "challenge" is completely idiotic. Then, as a special treat, we will hear from Jim's former colleague, Professor Emeritus Andrew Barron, who tells me all about Jim's own misadventures in hype and plagiarism, which as it turns out, are 10 times worse than what he's throwing at Lee. Oh, the irony! Strap in towards the end, it's going to get pretty choppy.

The horse has already been beaten to death, yet every time it's hit, it again somehow screams "God did it". Truly it is a miracle. Good stuff Dave. This is the kind of push back that gives me hope.

[@jacobl4699]

I’m a PhD student at Tour’s home university and it makes me feel embarrassed for my school that we even support this guy at all 😅

[@sirkole5517]

He seems to think anyone who talks to him is debating him

[@vestafreyja]

I have to admire Dr. James Tour's debate tactic when it came to drawing two complex molecules and demanding the Professor Dave take the time to draw a solution to how these molecules formed. The last time I took any Biochemistry courses was well over 50 years ago and if I remember correctly to completely diagram all the steps and include all reagents and required to draw all the steps on a blackboard would have taken well over the time limit that Professor Dave had!

[@cuzned1375]

My goodness, Dr Cronin has a superhuman kindness and even patience for nosebleeds like Jim-Jim.

[@erikstephens6370]

"Dave can't read papers." says the chemistry "Ph.D." who can't read an NMR spectrum.

[@cliveadams7629]

There must come a point where his university realises he's a liability and students are avoiding his department. Once they see they're losing money because Tour is damaging their reputation he won't be there for long.

[@jcnot9712]

James Tour is the lolcow I’ll never get tired of laughing at. The man finds unique and different ways to embarrass himself over time. It’s almost innovative.

[@breadfan7433]

Damn, Dave, that was brutal. And thoroughly enjoyable, as always.

[@Gxlto]

I'll literally never have enough of James Tour response videos. Been around since before the very first response(s) and I feel just as excited to see them on my feed each time

[@RAYROD]

I get absolutely giddy whenever a new James Tour response video drops. It’s like X-mas each time!

[@The_Ragequit_Cannon]

James Tour must be influenced by necromancy if he's able to come back constantly after being slaughtered

[@ebnomarabdullh4866]

Mr Dave exposed James tour so hard 😂

[@williammoore3279]

Professor Dave - wonderful content. There is one thing I am unsure anyone caught during the roundtable discussion. There was a brief moment when Tour was speaking about Jesus, and he entered a state of religious ecstasy. To me it appeared he became completely unaware of the people seated at the table and his general surroundings as he spoke "my Jesus". He will never lose the astounding ability to say the screeching screeds during your debate with him never happened or calling legitimate fields of study rip-offs/stupid never happened.

[@nathanielratcliff7456]

Just want to say, as fun as debunking of James Tour is, Lee Cronin is an absolute legend. His approach (even to people who openly criticise him) is superb and his ability to explain complex topics is incredible. He is even humble enough to admit where the problems are with his work and that he will continue to refine it.

[@keypey8256]

It's kind of pathetic that James continues to do this. If I were in his shoes, I would die out of embarrassment.

[@EdibleREAL]

Will James ever stop, because he doesn’t look like it?

[@lostfan5054]

I really admited "Dr." Tour's brilliant points he made recently, including the following brilliant, peer-reviewed insights, such as:

[@robertplatt643]

If Jim is mis-representing a scholar's work to the degree a lawsuit is required, the tenure committee of Rice should be taking action.

[@this_is_patrick]

Damn, so Tour contacted a random that kinda spoke to Cronin via email that one time years ago just to discredit him.
