That is complicated. How do you validate costly infrastructure changes that are only testable or necessary once about every 10 to 20 years? Proving winterization for Canada or Wisconsin weather is challenging if you rarely have Canadian weather extremes.
- CraigJPerry 6y agoI suspect the parent is fully cognisant of this. They are illuminating one of the fallacies of the free market extremists.
- austincheney 6y agoFree market vs regulation are irrelevant to my comment. Neither make rare conditions required for testing less rare.
- CraigJPerry 6y agoApologies - I misunderstood the intent of what you wrote. For testing would it not be possible to use modelling instead? E.g. in the way that you might fire drill recovery from a nuclear reactor instability without first melting part of the core. Or how you might test a martian lunar rover before sending it off to Mars. Even if modelling the entire system wasn’t possible with sufficient fidelity, why couldn’t you replicate the system in a geographic environment with the requisite conditions?
