Tony Hollick latest post is, as usual, full of errors, I list a few of them
below but I only glanced at it so I don't claim it's anywhere near complete.

>All this [ Heisenberg's] 'observationalist' stuff is positivist old

No you can not, not readily and not at all
             
>>Planck's constant is constant
        
>Wake up man -- it's a ratio!

Could you please explain why a ratio can not be a constant.

>Not [the speed of light is constant] according to Richard Feynman
>in Quantum Electrodynamics.

Dead wrong, Richard Feynman never said anything that stupid in his life.
             

>Not according to observation.

A statement without a particle of fact.

>Neither Special nor General Relativity have given science or
>technology anything it didn't have anyway.

Spectacularly wrong.

Tony says a lot more stuff but I lost interest, correcting his other bloopers
I will leave as a exercise for the reader.
