[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 772018, member: 18044"] A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. The more I read about UPS measuring techniques and how they interpret the results, the more I think it is pseudo-science, not real science. Everything UPS says seems to be a mixture of scientifically valid measuring and sampling techinques, with a healthy dose of Voodoo thrown in, which makes the result invalid. In addition to all the usual Math courses in high school, I took a year of Statistics and Probability Theory in college. UPS' techniques seem to be very sloppy versions of the valid methods real scientists use. But to properly critique their methods, I would have to see their procedures spelled out in detail. That's why I wish the Teamsters would obtain the formulas and have an outside group of experts review the entire program. I can see all sorts of flaws and limitations, some of them admitted to, but evaluating a program over the Internet based on only the snipits that are posted is inadequate. [/QUOTE]
