Lili's annoyance of the day

On the morning of Thursday June 18th 2015 Dr Karl (Kruszelnicki) in his regular science Q and A spot on Triple J public radio station aimed at young people, opened the session by making a debatable identification of an experience described by a female listener as synaesthesia and then went on to describe Daniel Tammet as his first example of a famous synaesthete, citing Tammet’s supposed mental feats such as learning a language in a short time, in an entirely unskeptical manner, and mentioning the title of Tammet’s first autobiographical book. Shut up, Dr Karl. Just shut up.
