Data Life Cycle
Published in Preston de Guise, Data Protection, 2017
The most common objection raised by businesses to a formal archive architecture is the perceived cost of the infrastructure required and the necessity to still perform data protection against the archival storage. Both of these are real costs, but they’re invariably developed on the false premise of equivalence to primary storage costs.

Travelling light
Published in Journal of Modern Optics, 2021
How might one explain the result of the circular Sagnac experiment? Sagnac’s own explanation cannot be right because he gave a starring role to something that does not exist – an all-pervasive luminiferous ether that bathes his laboratory apparatus. The most widely accepted explanation is summarized in the ‘Sagnac effect’ Wikipedia article with the statement that ‘the sensitivity of the ring interferometer to rotation arises from the invariance of the speed of light for all inertial reference frames.’ This explanation cannot be right because it is based on a false premise. Light does not have the same velocity in all inertial reference frames. I have demonstrated this for two different definitions of velocity, and I am about to discuss another demonstration of the same conclusion.
Inferential-Statistical Reevaluation of Spent Fuel Zircaloy Cladding Integrity
Published in Nuclear Technology, 2023
The impact of this conclusion is positive and not without significance. The antecedent,2 brought into question by erroneous statistical provenance, has been meticulously authenticated by inferential-statistical reevaluation of the data. The statistical analysis in Ref. 2 was flawed by a false premise and pathological values of surface flaw relative depth, casting doubt upon the likelihood of DHC-induced cladding failure during storage. New methods of analysis and information-rich PDFs of threshold CHS have set aside doubt and demonstrated the substantial statistical value intrinsic to the small sample of CRP measurements of .
CME Forum: a response to “Construction flow index: a metric of production flow quality in construction”
Published in Construction Management and Economics, 2019
The whole idea of the CFI is based on a false premise: that process and operations flow can be achieved at the level of detail being analyzed. Instead, what may be observed is a distribution of actual production about the idealized plan of the work (the dotted flowlines in Figure 5). Perhaps a measure of the statistical variation from the plan might be sufficient to measure the quality of flow.
