434F503E31_Procedural

Ok everyone working on a 434F503E31 system is publishing amazing videos on youtube and the like. I've never found a video that exploits without question some revolutionary technique. Voltage Meters, Current Meters what have you are always in abundance afixed to sections of a circuit that provide little if any information about the authenticity of the device's claims and mode of operation. To give an abstract example, Lets say we have an experimenter named Bob. Well, Bob believes that he has just created a 434F503E31 system. Bob takes some video of the device operating he even supplies an input Voltage and Current reading.  Bob also supplies a Voltage or Current reading on the output. The important thing to note here is that Bob never supplies both Voltage and Current. This agititates me a great deal. In addition to the agitation I am forced into a line of deductive thinking and tend to conclude that Bob's device is really not 434F503E31. Perhaps Bob feels that he has wasted alot of time on the device and needs some rectification. Or Bob does not realize that he needs to prove his output. The whole "it seems to work" movement is good enough. Or yet maybe there is another excuse, explanation as to why the single most important peice of data is left for the mind to ponder. This is in itself a terrible thing, experiments fail all the time - this is how we learn. Intential manipulation or lack of information seems to be a natural compensation mechanism in this line of experiment. 

Admiteddly  it can be quite depressing to find that an experiment has failed after months or years of work. The manor in which an experimenter handles failure is what i believe to be one of the definitive definitions of a Scientist.  That is a true Scientist can take failure in stride. My very definition of "true scientist" may need a little definition in itself. You see we live in a world of para-science. A para-scientist will quite often label the true scientist. It must however be pointed out that a true scientist will seek to explain that of which has no explination, not seek to profit. From this it can be found that para-scientists study dogma not science. In this notion i abstract a subtle truth about the parliament of our time. The practice of scientific dogma and true science are both profitable. The terms are not quite the same though. Scientific Dogma pays immediately. Where as True science pays many lears later often when the scientists himself has past away and the experimental evidence is accidently discovered. The strange thing here is that history has taught us time and time again how a paradigm shift can expose the dogma of the day.
