The secret fourth kind is ‘we applied a standard theory to their map of every tree and got some suspicious results.’
You must log in or register to comment.
Then there’s also the flat-earther style: “We applied a flawed model and flawed methodology to standard circumstances and got the results we wanted!”
I guess we need a new comic to address all the different kinds of pseudo-science.
That’s easy! We call that Garbage In Garbage Out!
What about ‘we applied a standard theory to standard circumstances and somehow the results aren’t right and it’s probably our fault’
Business as usual, just another day at the lab. People using actual real world samples instead of the expensive standards to produce a very messy calibration squiggle. Also, the machine probably requires some maintenance from time to time.
Should just assume a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum for simplicity’s sake 🤷
Oddly enough, the lack of air pressure in a vacuum would have the effect of trying to turn a regular cow into a sphere.
(Do not do this. Not even if the cow is already dead. Thanks.)
Do not do this.
Dammit, there goes my weekend! Oh well, guess I can still just eat that dead cow that’s been taking up space in the lab 🤷

We applied a map of every tree to a set of all possible sets we’re waiting on the results
