[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1431607, member: 196898"] Then I guess we will have to disagree. I don't accept guru's or spiritual leaders of whatever leaning, and I certainly do not accept published reports at face value. Call it lack of faith, I call it prudence. My job was Safety Involved, so I tried to make sure that our company produced the most reliable equipment we possibly could. So if you ever fly in an airliner,, just pray that I succeeded, I had to meet many Standards required for CAA and EASA flight Certification and perform rigorous testing and analysis. I know how easy it is to fudge test results, especially when using statistics. Governments have been using them for years to justify things and bamboozle us. As soon as you define a Gold Standard, someone somewhere will skirt around it and take short cuts. Remember Challenger 7? Forget Gold Plated Standards and fight instead for transparency so many eyes can assess the results and bring about corrections where necessary. Ticks in the box do nothing for me. Cochrane is just one more step towards that goal, but it is open to corruption since it too suppresses data and its workings so there is no overview of their conclusions. 'Who tests the Tester' syndrome. Remember that the sighted rule in the land of the blind. [/QUOTE]
