Cyborg's High-Predictability "Scientific" Method

1. Decide what conclusion you want to reach. It's best to do this now
-- it
simplifies your experiments and eliminates the need for all that time-
consuming hypothesizing.



For example "tubes are paradigme"


2. Line up the data that support your premise and invent rationalizations
to show that these data are "better" than others. Also, if time permits,
jot down some notes on why data reported by people with whom you disagree
shouldn't be considered in your "experiments."

3. No hypothesizing is necessary because the desired conclusion is
already
known, so go on to the experiments.


Sure !!! Moreover when you are the presomptuous webmaster of a site
fully dedicated to your grandeur.


4. Set up an "experiment" ;-) that is bound and certain to reinforce
your
desired conclusion.



Even an allegoric experiment is sufficient. It's a good deed it allows
to deaf people to participate to a hearing test. ;-)


5. If people are watching, pretend to run the "experiment". Be sure to
fake a demeanor of impartiality and devotion to truth.



If people are watching just inflate a little bit more your ego and use
it as a screen.


6. Promulgate the results of your "science" as noisily and as obnoxiously
as possible.


And noisily and obnoxiously proclame :
"In my experience professional musicians in blind tests prefer tubes."

Make sure you shout down and ridicule anyone who criticizes
your hypothesis (chuckle), your method, or your conclusion.


I agree.
Open your citation book and submerge the assailants with pertinent adages :
"Precision is the essential art of science"


Experience has
shown that you can usually deflect criticism, no matter how well-founded
it is in reality, by impugning the motives of your critics.



I still agree.


7. Sit back, complacent and smug, and trumpet to all and sundry that
you've
"proved" your theory and that no more "science" need be brought to
bear on
this issue.



Or cross France north to South in an old GS waiting for an editor. :-D
