Re: How reliable are the Scientific papers?
Aw jeez. So now you are an expert in electronics and know more than people actually trained in it?
Actually Chirop, that isn't too far fetched. I just had a similar thing happen here when a supposedly highly trained engineer came to install an new ICP-OES system in my new lab. It wouldn't work and he was on the verge of sending it back to the factory before i stepped in and showed him what was wrong.
OK so I used to be a highly trained instrumental engineer myself but that isn't the point. I would say that 90% of the engineers that I have worked with or trained over the years have just about had enough skill get by without being fired for incompetence. The other 10% were absolutely brilliant at lateral thinking and trouble-shooting.
Anyway this is kind of off topic so I will shut up and go away now.
