So I spend 2 weeks collecting data to show that it is linear, and it
turns out to be certainly NOT linear and most definitely parabolic,
so I call a meeting of the hardware people to discuss options for
fixing the hardware so that my data does come out linear, and the
solution was:Ignore the data on the right side of the parabola. Then the data
on the left side looks almost linear. Problem solved!I swear, everyone at my company is insane (except me.)
You ought to submit that to Scott Adams at the Dilbert website. Its
a classic.
Ha! Related to me by a co-worker:
His Boss: When will you have that bug fixed?
Him: I don’t know.
HB: Will it be today?
H: I don’t know.
HB: If it were today, what time today?
