My dude, if I don’t understand the scientific method you should call my boss and ask to have me fired.
I’m not making assumptions based on context that I don’t have. I’m offering possible alternative explanations, including that what they’re doing does not need to be scientifically rigorous.
Also, we’re missing context. You can observe issues that you deal with. You can use exaggerated language to describe it. It doesn’t mean the issues don’t exist. Maybe the issues are really obvious, and if we all knew the person, we would agree.
So the fact that they are observing an issue is not necessarily contrary to the scientific method. It could be with more context, but we don’t have that context here.
So the only point of contention is, is the context where the scientific method is required? If no, who cares? If yes, then it’s problematic but it also won’t pass peer review. But then, is it just for a class? If so, who cares? The teacher will shut them down and rightfully so. If no, peer review will catch it
I was under the impression that as PIC you can tell ATC that you are unable to follow instructions but you better be able to back it up later (ie. Flying VFR and ATC tells you to fly into a cloud). Following TCAS over ATC is definitely defensible unlike the famous 1NR. I don’t know if it’s required but it certainly seems like a good idea
I’m confused. Person is writing a paper and looking for supporting evidence based on what they have observed. They are not running a study.
Science starts with what you have observed and you make a guess based on that information, and then you try to find out if you’re right.
For example, I see a big yellow orb in the sky a lot of the time. Why? Does the earth rotate about a big yellow orb? Does a big yellow orb rotate about the earth?
Being wrong about your guess does not negate that which you have observed. You might learn why you observe what you have observed but it does not take away from the fact that yes you have indeed observed something. This person has made observations and is trying to justify that using existing research. Again, they are not running a study. You don’t know if existing literature points to the persons hypothesis being wrong. You don’t know if it’s something that hasn’t really been studied so there isn’t that much evidence right now and person is trying to get someone to look into an issue.
Testifying under oath as an expert may sway a case. In doing so, you are examined on what your expertise is, how it relates to the matter at hand, and why you believe it matters.
As a victim, you are not a reliable witness because the prosecution is trying to convince the jury that the facts match the charge while the defense is trying to present reasonable doubt. (If you couldn’t remember the curtain was blue, are you sure you didn’t just dream up the act?)
It’s also good to be able to establish multiple witnesses for the same event as it establishes mutual credibility. A, B, and C all established their presence and all corroborated that A was brought into the room with D. B and C heard sounds that were consistent with act X but inconsistent with defendant D’s claim of act Y.
It’s not a game of probability or trust. It’s storytelling
When you get a tumor, it’s still part of your body. Ergo, when there is a growth within a woman’s body? It’s also part of her body. You shouldn’t be able to sue and shouldn’t sue even if you are able to. Dealing with your own body is called healthcare.
My vehicle is my second largest investment I’ve made and it is a depreciating asset. I’d argue that my house is too, as my 7 year old appliance may need to be replaced soon.
While I can certainly keep my current house when I move and I am encouraged to do so, I plan to sell. If I can manage, at a profit. If I can’t, oh fucking well. Why do we need to prevent utilizing an empty house?
I wouldn’t use Fedora mainly because I object to how IBM/RedHat handled the removal of CentOS and how they hampered RockyLinux from keeping the original CentOS mission going
