Smart scientists, and by extension, smart people, don't waste their time and money on things that are essentially meaningless and provide less than negligible returns. And also, smart people (which include smart scientists) don't waste their time on trolls either.So Kaiser, calling an un-named person a Bozo is what branch of "science"? Glad you think it is so funny. For anyone here at ASR posting graphs, charts, measurements, and/or lecturing about equivalent circuit equations, provide the following information along with the proclamations of "proven", final answer, complete, exclamation point.
1) Brand, Model, and serial number of all equipment used in the experiment.
2) When were the items in 1) calibrated.
3) If calibrated, traceable to the Nation Bureau of Standards?
4) If not calibrated, explain why not.
5) What is the length, resistance, inductance, and capacitance of all cabling used.
6) Detailed diagram of the test configuration
7) Detailed test procedure
8) How is the unit under test (UUT) identified, stored, and handled
9) Complete description and details of the test location and environment
10) Procedure used to eliminate Bias of the tester.
If those 10 points are present, then a good start toward following a "scientific" process. Otherwise, simply an experiment - not scientific certainty.
[BTW, NBS has changed its name to NIST 32 years ago. If your cal certs say they are traceable to NBS, may be your things are overdue for a re-cal.]
P.S. If you are so concerned about instrument calibrations, I'd suggest you stay home and not venture outside onto public roads. At least not until your government has enacted laws requiring certifications that all vehicles on roads have their tire pressures and oil levels measured per government approved procedures every other day with NIST traceable tire gauges and NIST traceable dipsticks. You know, it's only your life that is at stake here.
