[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1616362, member: 35314"] I didn't have a problem with your explanation and math, nor did I see it as an attack. My point was more about experience with EVs/ ICE engines, offroading, etc and how it can't be replaced with academic understanding. I got my degree in mechanical engineering and worked in the field for a few years before moving over to IT. There was big difference between me who understood how things worked academic, and the mechanics who had decades of experience with the machines. Agree about the use assumptions....but I've never been too comfortable with them. Part of the reason I switched over to IT...much fewer assumption to make. I am not knocking good assumptions, and there are easier and better assumptions to make as you gain experience and wisdom on a matter, just like hard numbers better. Someone doesn't need to be bad at math to be mislead by it. The person trying to fool you with statistics will often do some by leaving some important information out and convince you to assume the missing information fits the narrative they're selling. For example, someone could tell you the range of an EV, and you're naturally going to assume that range is effected by driving style, conditions, payload, etc in the same way an ICE engine is effected...because you don't know any better. Probably don't even realize your making that assumption. Doesn't need to be bad at math. IMO, if you're presenting data (formally), an effort should be made to consider natural assumptions that are incorrect and bring those up in order to prevent misinformation from spreading. But that usually doesn't achieve the narrative. [/QUOTE]
