If this had been data collected by students I would probably fail them for making up data. I would at the very least interrogate them individually, and mark them down severly.
Saw pictures of a completely bone dry and mint Kilnsey on FB. Talk about cruel....
Just so. This is what data from an experiment in physics or chemistry looks like.... not in medicine.It is very difficult to imagine a scenario giving such perfect fit to a simple logistic function.The data collected from countries with free press and more transparent institutions is a lot more noisy.It is clear to me that there has to be some form of smoothing, for instance by averaging, to achieve such close fit to the theoretical curve. In absence of convincing explanation to the noise free behaviour of the graphs I will continue to ignore Chinese data.

Likewise. Its best not to think about it...
Gonna be climbing like beasts once allowed back on the crags with our hair tied back in pony tails...

Well now that the whole climbing community are on Matt Smythe training regimes, I think that everyone should set their return to climbing sights a little higher.Gonna be climbing like beasts once allowed back on the crags with our hair tied back in pony tails...
Not climbing but official police guidance in Devon and Cornwall is classing surging as daily exercise. No driving to get there but If you can walk to the surf you can surf. No different to climbing in my eyes.

From my recollection Smythe was singularly shit on the couple of occasions I saw him emerge from the cellar to test how his training was progressing. He'd then promptly attribute his performance to insufficient/incorrect training and retreat back underground.
2 mins walk to the beach for me, not a great beach but something at least. Unlike a lot on here I am trying to operate as per what I am told and not what I feel is right so if they say I can surf I will be.
