Bad Meteorology

The article intends to debunk the myths about the rotation of water seen in  household sinks.  It's laid out as the responses to a series of questions as in a FAQ.  It comes down hard on the claims made by people whom we supposedly trust such as people in the media and textbook authors and TV producers.  It comes down really hard on teachers who teach bad science.

The article is about bad science presented as fact and it does a good job in debunking the myths he's chosen.

I think this article is needed by the world.  There is a lot of bad science being presented as true facts.  The idea that the rotation of the earth controls the direction of water falling down a drain, the hoax of the moon landing, etc.
