"If you are aware that you have made a mistake, then you should repeat your experiment. "Human error" is not a valid source of uncertainty. If you know that you did something "wrong", then why don’t you do it correctly? "

I've read Asimov on Numbers and The Relativity of Wrong. I read the standalone essay online a few years ago, and now that I have the book, I see that a sizeable chunk of the essay is missing in the online versions! (Well, all the ones I could find, anyway.) This was insufferable so I painstakingly and meticulously transcribed the essay from my 1989 Oxford University Press paperback edition of The Relativity of Wrong and linked to it in the Essays section of the Books page.

I have a new E-mail address, havard@awegasm.net ! This is much better than the longer havard.skjaeveland@gmail.com , but the former address still forwards everything to the latter (I love GMail).

Here, have some Wikipedian eye candy. (Click for larger versions.)
