Ufologists
and armchair experts of Ufology should learn from engineers
Engineers
know deeply the value of telemetric (observational) data, when building
sophisticated prototype equipment or machinery it is well known that telemetric
data takes precedence over any forecasting data produced by any theoretical
model of the prototype equipment under consideration, these theoretical models
must be fine-tuned/modified or replaced to match telemetric data, observational
data is king in that sense, it overrides any preexisting idea about how the
given prototype should have been functioning.
But today
the accumulated and mounting observational data coming from active observers
and even casual observers of UFOs/Anomalies points to a reality that is a lot
more complex than the “simple” model imagined by the “nuts and bolts” very old
and outdated vision of classic Ufology.
But
Ufologists still resist to modify their model of reality. Ufologists it seems
do not follow the proven approach used by engineers of modifying their models
of reality when the observational data contradict or do not match exactly the
model predictions.
Ufologists
have an “easier” solution: if the observational data do not match their model
of reality then discard/ignore/belittle that data.
Scientists
know that reality is like a very complex machinery that always is in prototype
state, that is why scientists like engineers have to modify their models of
reality continuously and the reason why no model of reality will ever be
"final". That is why Science when done properly is in constant flux,
old ideas always are being replaced by new ones that consider the new evidence
not taken in count by the old theories/ideas.
The
logical conclusion is that Ufologists would had been very bad engineers.
