a trip through obscurantism ?
how has this exercise illuminated the basis for C ?

bobo
the phrase 'good enough' has a considerable history in WCing, your usage here is taken as literal
we know and accept that we are dealing with applied technology, and not science as such
and we, generally speaking ~ a dozen or so, do have an active interest in making improvements in our understanding, testing, and analysis
yes, most here really do understand that in a rad everything interacts with everything else - we are aware of the literature
in my case I am the sole source of rad data for 'our' industry (for which the test conditions and methods are described), outside of larger companies not directly involved

I have no problem with criticism and correction, I call such progress
do you have any specific suggestions ?
test methods, instrumentation, data collection, data analysis and/or presentation ??

all topics are open (though here we started with "C")
but at some point the action items need to be identified, can you help us progress ?

I too recommend books to the untutored, was this a snide pay-back ?
you have a lot of knowledge, can we benefit from it ?
