A Seth Brown " creation " - Newton ?

Was Seth Brown ( Corrupt Creative Writing 101, July 12 ,Commentary )

    keeping in mind her audience when she wrote this - for me a fan of the

    late Isaac Asimov - truly astonishing sentence :..." Even top scientists

    like Newton fudged their results in order to reach the conclusion they

    desired > "  The HONOR of the greatest scientist who ever lived demands

    that I ask Brown : " When and where did Newton FUDGE a result ? " Does

    Brown understand the magnitude of this slander ?

         I can assure the reader that if his " Principia " was FUDGED, we

    would never have put a satellite in orbit , never mind explore the outer

    Solar System!

             One thing a top scientist would  NEVER do is FUDGE a result.Since

    science is experimental and self-correcting, he or she risks disgrace

    for eternity by doing this- deceiving fellow scientists in their glorious

    pursuit of knowledge of the  Universe ( you might say the very Mind of

    God )

        Seth - if you try to fool too many people at once, " you'll probably

    get caught ". If I am mistaken here my humble apology !
