Your intent (and you) are wrong.

How can you demonstrate that other than personal belief? I do not
believe I am wrong based on what NASA said in the news conference that I
saw and their announced decision to fly w/o it...if you have factual
information you can reference that shows an error in what I have said,
I'd be happy to reconsider.

You'll be happy to reconsider what, exactly? That the sensor isn't
important? If it wasn't, why was the mission scrubbed two weeks ago?
Also, the sensor was working this morning, there was no "decision to fly
without it". Discovery is now in space, let's just leave it at that.
