Strawman argument. She claims exceptional circumstances. Doctor helping inmate is not exceptional by any standard
- alistairSH 5y agoI don't see that in the linked article (maybe Reader view is hiding content?). What exceptional circumstances is she claiming?
- Loughla 5y ago>she thought it was "stupid" that the Navy required the tests to be conducted at -100F (-70C) I don't see that as extraordinary (with literally ZERO knowledge of subs or arctic conditions). According to wikipedia, the lowest recorded temperature is -90.4°F / -68°C. It seems reasonable for something being built to last generations in hostile conditions to want to be a little better than our recorded 'worst case', right?
- tyingq 5y agoThat is an outside air temp though, where the hull isn't under pressure. Seawater wouldn't be much lower than 0C. Maybe something about contraction after surfacing?
- zamadatix 5y ago> According to wikipedia, the lowest recorded temperature is -90.4°F / -68°C. According to which part exactly? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_temperature_recorded_on_Earth https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_temperature_recorded_... Regardless I doubt the test specifications came from a Wikipedia search for "coldest weather" rather than some sort of stress event with desired error bars so refuting it with such a search seems foolish, not the test.
- alistairSH 5y agoYeah, that doesn't sound exceptional in any way. Whether or not the Navy's spec was overly cautious wasn't her decision to make. She defrauded the government and potentially put sailors at risk.
- jqpabc123 5y agoNo "exceptional circumstances" were put forth by her defense.
