Folks,
Mike, you are being too hard on Frank. Don't kill the messenger. Take your
anger out on all of the chemistry departments around the world that grade
this way.
You know, I don't mind in the least that the medical lab techs when I was
born had been graded in this fashion in the quantitative analysis courses
they took.
Really? I would feel much more comfortable in the hands of someone
trained to reduce errors in their measurement than in the hands of someone
trained to make the measurement in a way that gives the result they
expect. However, I'm sure that following graduation when they find
themself in a lab where the right answer is not known in advance that they
soon learn to overcome this defficiency in their training.
