What's your opinion on weather map/satellite images then? You are aware they're not real time and the storms/wind isn't actually moving that fast?
Are the people who make them incompetent? Or would they simply be useless if played back in real time - since you would hardly be able to see any movement at all.
- darkerside 6y agoWow, not sure if I'm being unclear, but I'll try again. This specific animation is issued at a speed that I think is faster than is useful. I think it is more useful and interesting to see the detailed interaction between the whale and an individual boat at a granular level. As played, you see the whale ping pong around between ships, but it's hard to get much of a sense for what is going on. I can't think of another reason for the video being that speed except that they want to imply that the whale is panicked (also the subtext of the study, so not exactly a complete stretch), or that it was an actual oversight that just so happened to make a covert emotional argument that favors their conclusion, which I consider a scientific faux pas.
