The Scientific Method
Scientifically the pertronix coil got just as hot disconnected as it did connected.
That`s what this valleybilly gathered:)
...and the valleybilly wins a cupie doll! ...scientifically speaking of course.
As the thread title might suggest, the post is about applying logic to a problem: 'The Scientific Method' if you like. It is
not A Tale of Two Coils.
If a car part gets hot under use/operation it would be easy to *assume* that it gets hot because of that use. Makes sense donut?
Except...that is exactly what did NOT happen in this case.
What's the point you are trying to make here?
I am a good bit wondering why that is a question.
Note the *assume* part. I am not trying to make a point. I am making a point.
During the course of working out a problem, there is a correct and an incorrect way to go about it. *Assuming* anything will maybe get you in 'misunderstand' territory. Your diagnosis will be wrong. The problem you are trying to resolve will likely still be present...and not resolved. That will
not happen when 'The Scientific Method' is properly applied. ...you can substitute 'Logical Thought Process', or any other number of descriptive phrases you like.
To *assume* is not part of a method that works very good. It doesn't work very well, either!
Holey Moley. This dead horse has been beaten quite enough. To anyone yet to understand 'the point' of this thread, please: Just let it go. Understanding it is evidently not in your future.
