Those 13 people represent 13 people. That is all that signed. I do not see the signatures of the members, I do not see ANY evidence that the members support that position. Are you saying that everytime the President of the United States or the British Prime Minister signs something it is supported by a consensus of their electorate?

The head of scientific societies are political positions for the society.

I am not talking about whether the signers actually signed the paper, I am asking for evidence that this position is held by it's members. I have seen no such scientific poll or survey done of these societies members. Nothing. Therefore you paper is meaningless and designed to fool the uneducated to the imagined consensus.

OISM provides all the names, it should be quite easy to verify many of them. Surely you can prove them wrong and find made up names. I am sure no one has attempted to do this before except for Scientific American who only looked at 30 names when they could have easily looked at a couple hundred and made a stronger case. Someone could have actually by now looked at all the names. The problem is once you start to do so you consistently find real scientists. As I demonstrated. It is quite easy to cherry pick more common names that are harder to search for but that does not disprove a real scientist has that name. What you are attempting to do has been tried and failed just as you continue to.
