→Conspiracy Theory: response to Sam
:::@VargasMilan: OK, I'll now assume that you were directing your remarks at AugustO, and saying that your lucid and penetrating exposition of how science works was not included in his "questions for Aschlafly" section of the E=mc^2 talk page, and that the latter is poorer for that. I can assure you that I have read his scientific contributions carefully, including the "questions" section, and that I have the highest regard for his wisdom and knowledge. And there is no doubt that he knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote the section. He clearly also has a good understanding of how measurement error works, how calculus works, how experimental physics works, and how experiments have historically obtained ever more precise confirmations of Boyle's law, Charles' law, Galilean physics, Newtonian physics, the law of definite proportions, Maxwell's equations, Planck's formula, Schrödinger's equation, relativity, E=mc^2, and so on and so forth. These things, and their history, can be found in many physics textbooks and encyclopedias. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 23:53, 1 July 2015 (EDT)

::::If the precision error is large enough, the object of the precision measurement might be referred to as a "proposed law" so as not to foster confusion. You have mentioned successes, but there are also failures like [[Descartes]]' proposals. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] 02:41, 2 July 2015 (EDT)
@VargasMilan: Sorry, I didn't get that, I thought you were chatting with SamHB:
