Willfully ignorant? That would take an exceptional amount of willpower in my case, Vaughn. For you perhaps not so much.
Ad homs aside, my point was that you can’t average measurements that were never measured. You can average a million thermometer readings in Cape Cod and it will not improve the precision of a single measurement made in Cape Town. We have enough measurements to increase precision through quantity instead of quality in only a limited number of times and places.
And you claim it’s ME being willfully ignorant? Physician, heal thyself.
