Question about a PF Warning

[QUOTE="DaveE, post: 6865191, member: 644223"] Umm... maybe this needs more thought? Sorry, I get your point, in this context. But, it's not universally true, at least for engineers like me. - If you want to know if radio altimeter errors due to 5G transmission towers near airports might make your plane crash (spoiler: it won't, probably) then you can't ignore the FAA and the FCC agencies and their regulations. - If you want to know why the Wi-Fi that you might be using right now works and doesn't interfere with the cell phone call you might get, you can't ignore regulatory agencies and their regulations. - If you want to fill the prescription your MD wrote without undue concern, you can't ignore regulatory agencies. - Did your dairy or grocer put formalin in your milk to save money. Nope, not since the FDA got involved. It's not pure math or physics, but if you exclude the entire subject of how humans agree about technological conflicts, then you may have to just kick all of the engineers off of PF. Sometimes, it's a big deal. Many of those organizations, whether ASTM, FAA, OSHA, FDA, IEC, etc. hire real scientists and real engineers who do really technical work to avoid conflict, improve safety, and increase efficiency. OK, sorry, y'all can go back to your previous subject. PS: All of this is made possible by a financial system that is regulated by government agencies. Intel can't build a new Fab without reliable financing. [/QUOTE]
