Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2034625, member: 56"] FTFY. As proven by MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and many many more scientists. Same way the Steelers balls were 'deflated' against the Giants this year. Where was the outcry? I doubt you'll read this, as you don't appear interested in seeking any truth, but this says it better than anyone on this thread: [I] As time has allowed more serious analysis to come in, the results have been an overwhelming destruction of the conclusions of Wells, Exponent and the consulting work of Princeton professor Daniel Marlow. It's been from all directions: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (multiple studies), Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Chicago, Boston College, the University of Nebraska, the University of Illinois, the University of New Hampshire, Bowdoin College, Rockefeller University, where a Nobel Prize winner couldn't have lampooned it more viciously, and so on and so on. Then there were unaffiliated retired scientists, climate experts, professional labs, even the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute, which crushed the science of Wells' report. A fourth-grader in Sacramento discredited it for her school science fair. [B] And these are just some of the ones that received media attention.[/B] About the only counter argument is all these people must all be Patriots fans (they aren't). Even if they all were, they'd be opening themselves up to scientific ridicule for their conclusions from other scientists who aren't Patriots fans. Only no one is ridiculing them. No one is criticizing these critics. It doesn't appear anyone is fighting back. Maybe there is a professor or study out there that, with the currently available information, defends Exponent, Wells and the NFL, [B]but there aren't any readily found [/B]on the Internet or [B]in scientific journals[/B]. They certainly aren't making themselves easy to find. [B]If every smart scientist who studied this case (and isn't affiliated with the league) says nothing happened, then how long does everyone keep saying something did?[/B] The most damning rebuke is from Dr. John Leonard, one of numerous professors at MIT who have tackled this case. In a popular YouTube video, the Philadelphia Eagles fan doesn't just blast Exponent's conclusions but shows the flawed methodology that failed to account for how atmospheric pressure impacted the footballs that were measured at halftime. He basically calls them hacks, and when he fixes their mistake, he essentially closes the argument out. In the months-old video he asks Exponent to explain itself. To date, it hasn't. Apparently no one has disagreed with Leonard's findings. "[B]The Colts' balls were as much out of range as the Patriots' balls,[/B]" Leonard told a class on the deflate-gate at UNH, according to the Boston Globe. "[B]It's pretty much an open-and-shut case, [/B]but somehow [commissioner Roger] Goodell never understood it, and still doesn't to this day."[/I] [/QUOTE]
