Yep - cause that's exactly how the empirical method works and what built the modern world!

Einstein thought for himself

Yet based it on known physics and found a weak spot. You claiming you can do that? Write the paper and the truth will out! You don't want anything to do with peer-reviewed science? Then you're hiding behind 'personal opinion' and just don't want to know anything new.

 

[JohnEmmett]

You don't want anything to do with peer-reviewed science?

No…

 

[eclipsenow]

No…

So why are you in this forum? If you're here just to sneer - isn't that trolling?

 

[JohnEmmett]

So why are you in this forum?

To communicate

 

[eclipsenow]

To communicate

To communicate your subjective gut felt opinion rather than even attempt to put in a science headline? Lucky us.

To communicate your subjective gut felt opinion

You are communicating your opinion


As well as negativity

It's actually a lot better than it was, due to actually making changes about the use of Chloro Flurocarbons.

No - just a request for a polite discussion about the science on rational grounds - not someone's groundless fancies. Or else I'll continue to talk about my dream about how unicorn vomit fuelled an F35 over the White House, doing an after burner that painted it rainbow colours. It was so pretty.

The empirical method is flawed by sinful men.

It has many "weakest links."

I know you guys are tired of this example, but it's a good one:

Thalidomide was subjected to the empirical method and [prematurely] passed with flying colors.

And when Frances Kelsey wanted more of the empirical method applied, they said "nothing doing."

The rest is history.

Some circumvent the empirical method and foist their product on the public.

Such is the case with the Titanic, which passed all empirical methods, except for lifeboats-to-passenger ratios.

Adherence to the empirical method should have grounded the Challenger, but it was overridden by management.

The empirical method is only as effective as sinful men can allow it to be.

As per usual, your actual complaints are with management.

Ownership? Senior management?

Would ownership/senior management release a product/invention ahead of time if R&D said it wasn't ready?

I'm sure they can find someone (cash-cash-cash) to say so, but that's not the issue in the two examples you gave. The engineers at KSFC clearly indicated that launching on frozen o-rings was a bad idea and management did it anyway. And Thalidomide didn't pass with flying colors for what it was dangerously marketed for (pregnancy).
