No, Bill, it has nothing to do with you claiming that some things are facts, and that any un-named source can trump you. It's that your assertions are don't pass sanity checks, and you insist on ignoring variables. That ain't engineering, it's marketing. Start being an engineer again, and we'll believe you.

It's not so much that we--well... I--don't trust the data because it comes from the company, it's that I don't trust the data because the testbed isn't characterised, is designed for validation, not thourough testing, and is missing a critical variable, which is the only one that anyone who's trying to overclock CARES ABOUT!

Again, we have marketing, not the

Predictions from these hypotheses are tested by various experiments, which should be reproducible. An important aspect of a hypothesis is that it must be falsifiable, in other words, it must be conceivable to prove the hypothesis to be false. If a proposition is not falsifiable, then it is not a hypothesis, and instead an opinion or statement outside of the scope of scientific inquiry.

The scientific method is a process that follows "observe a phenomenon, formulate a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, repeat"
