"'Knowing in advance' is what the mechanical engineer gets for their $ 100,000....education."

Argument from authority
An argument from authority is a form of argument in which the opinion of an authority figure is used as evidence to support an argument. The argument from authority is a logical fallacy, and obtaining knowledge in this way is fallible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
Lots of buyer's remorse in higher education of late. STEM probably most resistant, but still....

The proven best way to advance technology is to offer a bounty, such as the Xprize. Y'all could escrow a bounty for some falsifiable test, and someone like oilpan4 might try to claim it.

'Knowing in advance' is what the mechanical engineer gets for their $ 100,000 undergraduate degree, and whatever else they spend on graduate, doctoral candidate, and post-doc education.
"...I was giving you a way to cushion your fall..."
LOOOL!

Have you tested it?

[hint]According to https://www.kraken.com/learn/satoshi-to-usd-converter, a ten dollar wager would be about 12,000 Satoshis.[/hint]
