The Linear Equality Fallacy

[AlanBostick]

I maintain my spreadsheets and you don't, so you aren't in a position to say anything about what conclusions can or cannot be drawn from my dataset.

I have a graduate degree in experimental physics, and I suspect you don't, so I suspect I might maybe possibly understand rather more about analysis of noisy data than you do.

Would it shut you up if, rather than "$50/hour" I had said "$47 +/- $23" for the two years' data and "$48 +/- $40" for the three weeks' data?

OP was using a lot of fancy ten-dollar words, not very adeptly, to say something that either was total nonsense or nothing more deep than "every amplifier has its rail."
