I have yet to notice (i have not made a systematic search) a text which
analyzes - or even notices - the patently absurd assertion of our
exponential models of capacitive discharge, radioactive transmutation, et=
c.
It is a real eye opener to even the most blas=E9 students, and a hard hit=
ting
lesson in the nature of our models and their usefulness, as opposed to
philosophical "truthfulness".
Looking at a wider context, perhaps more misconceptions (and just lacuna)
are wrought by omission, than by overt commission.
