It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Nope just sycophants who give the guy paying the bills what he wants and tell him what they want to hear...........Reading that article lead me to a startling conclusion; Exponent employees, specifically those who worked on Deflategate, in my opinion, are a bunch of ****ing morons.
"Which we spent 3 months of our lives performing." Yet you still got it wrong. Unbelievable.Reading that article lead me to a startling conclusion; Exponent employees, specifically those who worked on Deflategate, in my opinion, are a bunch of ****ing morons.
“What disappoints me the most from the scientific community is they said we didn’t do things that we did,” he said. “And it’s in the report. I believe in the scientific method. I believe in challenging what people say. That’s all part of the verification and validation process. I have no problem with that. But if you’re going to look at what someone else has put forward as a hypothesis, a theory or experimental verification, you have to understand what they did, and then work from there. And I’m not sure that everybody did that.”
As part of those experiments, Pye set up a television replaying the game in real time. Exponent employees imitated what they watched — throwing the balls, falling on them, shuffling them out of play, wiping them with towels, spraying them with water to simulate rain.
“He was the head ball boy,” Pye said, nodding to an employee named Daniel Kingsley.
Kingsley shrugged. Unlike the Patriots’ ball boys, he has a Ph.D in mechanical engineering.
exactly. as the rebuttals came out showing the flaws in the exponent report, i was curious to see if there were holes or responses to them. oddly enough no one has given any scientific arguments. no one rebutted the amicus brief by the group of professors. exponent should argue the facts and not sound like a bunch of whiners.And yet the interesting thing in that article -- they *still* don't answer any of the criticism. Just comments like:
No, that's not true. Legitimate criticisms are there, unexplained in the report, and you have not addressed them. The entire article reads like group-therapy for a bunch of scientists who are pissed that their work was trashed by their peers in a very public manner, and can't get over it and want to tell the world "It's still real to me!"
It read like some favors were called in to help Exponent get more work.And yet the interesting thing in that article -- they *still* don't answer any of the criticism. Just comments like:

Toyota calls in Exponent Inc. as hired gun
“…I wouldn't have picked somebody like Exponent to do analysis," said Stanton Glantz, a cardiologist at UC San Francisco who runs a database on the tobacco industry that contains thousands of pages of Exponent research arguing, among other things, that secondhand smoke does not cause cancer.
CDC: Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in adults who have never smoked. Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or at work increase their risk of developing lung cancer by 20–30%. Secondhand smoke causes more than 7,300 lung cancer deaths among U.S. nonsmokers each year.
I'm printing this to get the most out of it.
Caligiuri passed along the basics: The Patriots’ footballs were thought to be pumped up to about 12.5 p.s.i. before the game, the Colts’ balls at 13 p.s.i. The halftime readings were much lower and varied. The temperature outside was 48 degrees. It was known that the balls were tested at halftime inside, at room temperature: 11 Patriots balls but only four Colts balls, because officials ran out of time. The referee had two gauges, and one was way off.
