Science can be misused

in covid-19 •  2 years ago 

The most difficult thing to do, scientifically; is to remove personal bias from a problem being studied using the scientific method! Some of the greatest breakthroughs are the result of success in removing this bias, then analyzing why the results are different that you expected.

Doing this well is where most Patents come from!

anyone pretending to be "objective" is an idiot

True, knowing that, the design of experiments (DOE) can randomize the results during data collection. This way the results are only extracted at the last step.

I Love it when the answer is Not what I expected, that's where the treasure lives!

it would also go a long way towards advancing "confidence"

if there was (a hell of a lot) more focus on sigma

Scientific prostitutes offend me at a base level! I have told clients Not to tell me what they expect I'll find. Then I randomize the data collection process. I have fixed a number of production processes, by identifying a true root cause; and ignoring what they have tried to use in the past!

It is fun to turn their processes over and rebuild them using their own data! They are usually surprised and happy....

i remember figuring out what "sample-bias" is when a friend of mine explained how the market-research company they work for designs the surveys to "make the customer happy"

A fine example of prostituted results! The risky part is when the customer thinks the results are honest, and invest heavily on the product involved. Some companies get lucky, some just survive, but the rest crash and burn!

There is always a cost from bad science, it is mostly hidden; by it always lethal!

Thanks for the clarity

I've made my living doing this, and it ended up with several dozen patents in my name.

They call me now, when they can't figure it out. It keeps me on my toes!

👍💗😁💙🎉

Hmm, I love that statement

They call me now, when they can't figure it out. It keeps me on my toes!

Without problem solving skill, no human would seek for another man help. Keep the good work up buddy

It does make things interesting, and I charge them a lot. But they are happy when I leave, and their line is running!
