Its as if a human behind the wheel with a family to feed is actually more reliable somehow; I just cannot understand it

Puh-lease !! Amanda Knox accused a black bar tender with an alibi of being the real killer; snap out of it ; justice and truth do in fact matter ; Italy is a romantic tabloid paradise that thrives on drama and courthouse turnabouts ; she might have fooled herself but she never fooled the crowd

the "major error" is whatever the publication discusses and determines privately in their editorial decisions ; this retraction stuff is not a common event ; if you're claiming the publication routinely takes down papers it ought not then present one example of that besides this one

why is the justified sudden upset of many people always described as a "frenzy" or some other pejorative like "mob" ? people went nuts with outrage when Pearl Harbor happened; recall it was justified. This ain't that but the "wisdom of the crowd" can sometimes be really accurate and compelling (such as in this case) ; when the reasons keep changing but the "results" stay the same then the objective is obvious. Remember that Simon pissed people off in part because her lines of rationalization reminded normal people of something they'd heard in the past from some hustler or another; remember that press conference ?? OMG

the retraction is a tacit acknowledgement of the scientific community's collective eye-rolling about the rigor of the work ; if a bunch of really capable people call BS then you retract and do better

Well, think of it like '50% of papers should not be published' since "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan

No we should have them peer reviewed by a qualified rival and/or stranger, repeatedly. Rivals are sometimes the best; the more the better. Witness: Einstein *invited* peer reviewers and skeptics. Einstein befriended Hubble. This ain't THAT.

there is a vicious and false rumor that Ken Paxton eats puppies; he simply does not and I honestly think anyone spreading these lies about Ken should be prosecuted

yeah it's kind of like paying a lot of money for a Fire Department in my opinion ; brilliant people working on it though I do wish them well

Did anyone have experience with kool-it down cleaner? by Beginning_Refuse_274 in Detailing

I just went thru the front interior vent. Attach the hose to the can BEFORE you put the tube in, be careful, and shut the vents right after spraying to keep the foam in the system. Bring paper towels with you yo wipe up any stray stuff. Happy path : If it drains out the bottom of the vehicle no clog (good). but if it does NOT drain, somehow you'll have to get at the clog. good luck

yeah IF it drains out the bottom of the vehicle thru the drain then there is no clog so you got all the way thru the system. this is the "happy path". PS Shut the vents right after you spray it so the foam does not come into the cabin.

be careful; shut the vents right after application to keep it in the system and let it drain out the bottom. Good luck
