written as if the postulate were true
editThe article is essentially written as if the postulate were true. To claim that energy or oil consumption rose because of greater efficiency is to commit the post-hoc fallacy.
The mention of James Watt is a crude summary of Jevons' views.
Reference [2] is to a paper by Horace Herring but the passage cited is from a paper by Brookes - not sure which one because he has published his 'accommodation' argument several times.
I will come back to this soon and suggest a more balanced treatment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scepticc (talk • contribs) 08:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Merge with rebound effect
editI have a new rebound effect (conservation) article prepared, which is available to peruse at reboundeffect.blogspot.com, and i covers the Khazzoom-Brookes Postulate. I suggest a merge when this new rebound effect article is up.Murrayck (talk) 05:18, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
broken links to the proponents of the postulate
editOne thing that really annoys me in Wikipedia is the prevalence of broken links to articles about people mentioned in an article. Why are the links to the articles on Daniel Khazzoom and Leonard Brookes broken??? My opinion is that there should ALWAYS be a separate biographical article about anybody who developed an idea or concept that is deemed worthy of an article. The same goes for members of bands. The primary article should be about the band's music. Biographical information belongs in separate articles for each band member. Would it be possible to get a robot to create separate articles wherever there is a broken biographical link in Wikipedia? Links in red make Wikipedia look like it's been vandalized. It's like graffiti on walls.Tetsuo (talk) 23:10, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
