First of all,
any lawstudent can tell you that facts are not facts. There is only room for scientific discussion. What is the boiling temperature of water? Everyone agrees that this is 100 degrees Celsius, because Mr. Celsius (I am not shure!)did this experiment and he saw the water boiling and he measured the heat.
Important here is, that this experiment was conducted on the ground on sea level. If you would boil the water on lets say 2000 feet, then it doesn't boil at 100 degrees but less. What does this mean? Was Celsius incorrect? Was the other guy incorrect?
Any scale would be subjective (there a just to many variables and/ or parameters) , but there is always room for improvement. The thing is, that people can use any sort of scale to assess how dangerous or harmless the scorpion is. There should be more research on this subject.
"Scorpions of medical importance" by H.L. Keegan is a nice book, however the nomenclature is old and some of the views, but it gives you an idea of the scorps venom and the clinical effects.
Indeed an interesting discussion, I learned a lot from this....
