This is a fundamental problem. You might luck into roughly correct results most of the time, but the basic nature of statistics is against you.
- csallen 10y agoOh I don't disagree with you at all. But even based on what you said, it's not hard to imagine that it's possible to identify and test some previously unidentified component of said fluid that is consistent throughout. My point is only that there is no hard theory decrying this to be impossible in the same way that, say, computer scientists can prove that a problem is NP-complete.
