FYI Scientists are smart, you're probably not. Listen to science...

This is stupid as people will have moral objections to using animals for research. So this statistic is autistic.

Statistics can be manipulated to achieve any result you want.

67% of people know this.

Oh yeah

I think you're missing the point.

I'm a big KYK bearing fan.

Though I sometimes go out of my way to look for FAG bearings.

The bearing shop in Dartmouth is a FAG distributor, and I figured I'd walk out of there with a FAG for my angle grinder, but apparently FAG doesn't make 628 bearings.

 

[Duke]

Do they only make up to 627?

 

[Domon]

i must be an outlier. I like nachi bearings.

I think you're missing the point.

either way I'm surprised "this statistic is autistic" isn't a rap lyric somewhere in the world

 

[gee]

They make a 627 and a 629, not a 628.

So no FAGs for me

That's odd...

Autistic statistics are probably pretty reliable, no?

Nah just single out that one statistic because it's dumb. Not arguing against the point you were making.

Did you check for KYKs?

 

[gee]

Did you check for KYKs?

No KYKs here. Had a choice of FAG (didn't make one), SKF (only had metal ended ones in stock) and RBI (had rubber ended ones).

The SKF ones are pretty stout, but figured I'd better use a rubber in this application, to prevent the grease from the gearbox from ruining the lube.

I agree. Science is geared towards "Can we" instead of "Should we". This is the only "statistic" that violates the boundary between those two ideas.

What is so great about discovery? It is a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world.
