No del.
A scientific experiment would involve recreating conditions and trying to recreate results. You did a thought experiment, and is was incomplete. You got part of an answer, but demonstrated a lack of context. The context was that all 12 Colt balls were normal, and that 11 of 12 *Pats balls were not.
You mean ignore "my thought experiment", even if it was shown incomplete/wrong
And I've said already it's more suspicious to me that the Colts balls were still above 12.5 than the Patriots were below 12.5.
That doesn't make any sense unless the Colts equipment guys 1) inflated the balls pregame much close to 13.5 than 12.5 and 2) possibly kept the balls warmer or more dry than allowed.
To me that's the only scientific explanation.
There is no test to run because the balls the Patriots provided the refs are DIFFERENT than the balls the Colts provided the referees. We know that for fact but we will never know HOW they were different. It sounds like to me the inspection process by the refs is not recorded.
All I know is some scientists (with a pretty good background in sports science and concussion analysis) did a test with 12 NFL footballs out of the box, pumped them up to 12.5 psi in a 75 degree room, got the balls wet, took them to a 50 degree room, waited a couple hours during the process and re-measure the psi as (coincidentally) 1.75 to 1.95 psi lower.
No one hear really even explained this too me. Do you think these scientist have another agenda? Do you think they are Patriots fans? Really? I give you PROOF that temperature and moisture can GREATLY impact the pressure in a football and you guys all ignore it. Because you've ALL MADE UP YOUR MINDS the minute you heard Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, the Patriots and Cheating in the same sentence. And don't tell me you didn't.
You're all biased. Which is why your "opinion" doesn't really mean all the much. I've seen the way you talk about the Patriots prior to this. You're all biased. You're all in the guilty until proven innocent group. And you fully admit not putting any scientific or non-biased analysis into your conclusions.
That's fine. But I'm not going to sit hear and just accept it as fact. The more I read about air pressure in footballs, the more RESEARCH I do, the more it's entirely plausible that air pressure in footballs often, if not always, goes below 12.5 psi on cold, wet days like the Patriots played in. And it's more fishy to me to try and understand why the Colts' football somehow magically retained their pressure despite physics saying it's impossible.
