>19th-century photography technique employed in novel data storage method
TECHNIQUE and METHOD are synonymous terms (don't quibble). Does anybody else find it irksome to build a sentence this way?
- Koshkin 2y agoDepends on the context, I guess. In some, a method can involve multiple techniques; some of these techniques can be borrowed from other, unrelated, methods. (You could say that a photograph is kind of data storage, but still.)
- hnlmorg 2y agoI find the sentence easy to parse. So I’m curious, how would you have phrased it?
- ngcc_hk 2y agoTechnique seems to me specific and technical. Method is more general and abstract. Hence my brain wiring and decoder seems ok with it. Wonder as the other post said how you would have written it, even assume these are the same word as you cannot repeat the word without sounding odd ?
