1) Ghawar is tapped out and (2) technology couldn't help us get past peak oil.
What other bad assumptions did the peak oil doomers make?

Get a grip.

Same thing with peak oil. There is no such thing as bad assumption with peak oil. It's only about TSHTF's time that we can argue.

However if the rescue squad gets the big bag deployed before you hit and it cushions your impact you still get to walk away pessimistic or not.

I think BAU chickenshits would be less inclined to rib doomers if doomers would express even an ounce of humility and own up to their bad calls. Instead we just get name-calling.
