-
-
- THEY WRITE THEY MEAN
-
- It has long been known that... I haven't bothered to look up
- the original reference
-
- ...of great theoretical and practical ...interesting to me
- importance
-
- While it has not been possible to The experiments didn't work
- provide definite answers to these out, but I figured I could at
- questions. least get a publication out
- of it.
-
- The W-Pb system was chosen as The fellow in the next lab had
- especially suitable to show the some already made up
- predicted behavior...
-
- High purity... Composition unknown except
- Very high purity... for the exaggerated claims of
- Extremely high purity... the supplier
- Super-purity...
- Spectroscopically pure...
-
- A fiducial reference line... A scratch
-
- Three of the samples were The results of the others
- chosen for detailed study... didn't make sense and were
- ignored..
-
- ...handled with extreme care during ...not dropped on the floor
- the experiments
-
- Typical results are shown... The best results are shown...
-
- Although some detail has been lost It is impossible to tell from
- in reproduction, it is clear from the the micrograph
- original micrograph that...
-
- Presumably at longer times... I didn't take the time to find
- out
-
- The agreement with the predicted fair
- curve is excellent
-
- good poor
-
- satisfactory doubtful
-
- fair imaginary
-
- ...as good as could be expected non-existent
-
- These results will be reported at I might get around to this
- a later date sometime
-
- The most reliable values are those He was a student of mine
- of Jones
-
- It is suggested that...
- It is believed that... I think...
- It may be that...
-
- It is generally believed that.... I have such a good objection
- to this answer that I shall
- now raise it.
-
- It is clear that much additional I don't understand it
- work will be required before a
- complete understanding...
-
- Unfortunately, a quantitative theory Neither does anybody else
- to account for these effects has not
- been formulated
-
- Correct within an order of magnitude Wrong
-
- It is to be hoped that this work This paper isn't very good but
- will stimulate further work in the field neither are any of the others
- on this miserable subject
-
- Thanks are due to Joe Glotz for Glotz did the work and Doe
- assistance with the experiments and explained what it meant.
- to John Doe for valuable discussions.
