Ok! So only you guys know, only you guys right!

The what so ever EE principal, physics theory never draw into a conclusion
like: "So, it concluded that wire is wire, cable does not matter", that is
your conclusion, so do not try to add that to the scientists.

Fine, if you insist on living in that little hole, that's your life, your
opinion.

BTW, how come nobody can answer my question: "If you can distinguish two
cables the first time, why bother to do another 19 times? If you can't
distinguish them, why bother to give yourself a second chance?"

When I was in college, everytime I proved a theory, I only need to prove it
once, never heard of I have to continusly prove to it 16 out of 20 times to
pass the proof.

If it was a theory that went against or was trying to disprove established
theories, then twice to rule out a fluke.

20 times is plainly trying to make the data fit the hypothesis.

No, it's simple probability. Once could be a fluke, twice could be a
fluke, just like in coin tossing. In order to have *reasonable*
confidence that it's not just lucky guessing, you need 16 out of 20
correct. Hey, if Lawrence feels that it's a 'night and day'
difference, then he should get it right *every* time, yes?
