Steve McIntyre has started a new series on the "the trick," which to this day almost nobody understands

Over at Climate Audit Steve McIntyre has started a new series on the “the trick.” To this day the trick is still largely misunderstood by nearly everyone discussing it, except Steve and a few of his readers. The trick deniers, are back at it using some old stupid pet tricks –moving the pea under the thimble. They clearly do not have a command of the mathematical operations underlying the trick or a command of all the versions of the trick. As Steve writes:
