I developed a technique for sloppy slide-rule slipping, that made
beautiful curves with nice experimental point scatter. Looked great.

The few guys who did stay and do the work didn't get such good grades.
My slide rule worked better than the klunky lab equipment.


As you say, if you know the material, fudging the data points is
trivial ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
