You'll undoubtedly run into members who make wild claims and/or don't even really get the basics of the experimental method. Gentle nudging works best, I find. . . .
Cool!

I understand the problem and without being judgmental, realize we are only 600 years from the dawn of the Age of Enlightenment. It is not an easy discipline.

I've been doing most of my tests as specific experiments but have come to realize I've reached the limits. I need larger sets of data from ordinary driving. So first is instrumentation and then comes experimentation and analysis.

Right now I'm passing through some of the recent threads to get a feel and flavor.
