Methodology

I was at the University of Georgia conference on ethics.

generative ai and research methods it wasn't in athens it was in atlanta they were really beautiful exec ed center uh there and and it was a really cool uh conference so that was uh elena carolina and weifeng that that organized it and And it was such a breath of fresh air to see all the different presentations.

And, you know, sometimes we go to conferences and like we see research and we're not always excited about the research.

But every single presentation at that workshop was like I was like, man, I wish I'd come up with that or like I wish I was a co-author on this paper.

We're going to talk about innovation at pharmaceutical companies and the role of methodology or innovation groups.

We're going to talk about a particular paper that was published with commentary, and we have authors from this.

So the paper is Statistical Methodology Groups in the Pharmaceutical Industry.

And we have two authors from that, and then we had commentary on that, and we have two authors from that.

And so this is going to be our topic for today.

I love that question, obviously.

In the paper, we try to tackle this very broadly, but I'll try to give a concise definition here and there.

Methodology groups are a strategic investment.

Oh, I see.

The shifting methodology reflects a growing realization that they have to balance the infrastructure potential against the sheer financial weight of building it.

It naturally reminds me of episode 22, our deep dive on Tesla.

And Tesla is the perfect last public stock baseline for this.

To get a sense of how the analytical models are digesting this tug of war, we have 14 September AI research contributions.

And to be completely transparent on the methodology, these span three model versions and nine different analytical frameworks.

These are AI models evaluating the data, you know, not a room of human analysts arguing around a table.

And their original non-adjusted five-year classification for silver came in as neutral.

They are not confirmed factory timetables or central bank default schedules.

What's really telling is how this broader outlook has shifted over the last few months.

If we look at the July batch of research using the exact same version 2.3 methodology, the classification was a buy.

Now in September, it's neutral.

Absolutely.

Flying Saucer Crashes in Alien Bodies, The Crash Sites, Scenarios, and Research Methods section one flying saucer crashes and alien bodies the most puzzling and intriguing element of the complex series of events now known as the roswell incident are the alleged sightings of alien bodies the bodies turn what for many years was just another flying saucer story into what many ufo proponents claim is the best case for extraterrestrial visitation of earth the importance of bodies and the assumptions made as to their origin is illustrated in a passage from a popular roswell book crashed saucers are one thing and could well turn out to be futuristic american or even foreign aircraft or missiles but alien bodies are another matter entirely and hardly subject to misinterpretation the nineteen ninety four air force report determined that project mogul was responsible for the nineteen forty seven events mogul was an experimental attempt to acoustically detect suspected soviet nuclear weapon explosions and ballistic missile launches mogul utilized acoustical sensors radar reflecting targets and other devices attached to a train of weather balloons over six hundred feet long claims that the u s army air forces recovered a flying disc in nineteen forty seven were based primarily on the lack of identification of the radar targets an element of weather equipment used on the long mogul balloon train the oddly constructed radar targets were found by a new mexico rancher during the height of the first u s flying saucer wave in nineteen forty seven the rancher brought the remnants of the balloons and radar targets to the local sheriff after he allegedly learned of the broadcast reports of flying disks however following some initial confusion at roswell army airfield the flying disc was soon identified by army air forces officials as a standard radar target from nineteen forty seven until the late nineteen seventies the roswell incident was essentially a non-story the reports that existed contain only descriptions of mundane materials that originated from the project mogul balloon train tinfoil paper tape rubber and sticks the first claim of bodies appeared in the late nineteen seventies with additional claims made during the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties these claims were usually based on anecdotal accounts of second and third-hand witnesses collected by ufo proponents as much as forty years after the alleged incident the same anecdotal accounts that refer to bodies also describe massive field operations conducted by the u s military to recover crash debris from a supposed extraterrestrial spaceship a technique used by some ufo authors to collect anecdotal corroboration for their theories was to solicit cooperating witnesses through newspaper announcements for example one such solicitation appeared in the socorro new mexico defensor chieftain on november fourth nineteen ninety two on behalf of don berliner and stanton t friedman the authors of the book crash at corona this request solicited persons to provide information about the supposed crashes of alien spacecraft in the socorro area footnote socorro new mexico is situated at the northwest boundary of white sands missile range the largest military test range in the united states since the nineteen forties white sands and the surrounding areas of new mexico have been the site of a high volume of military test and evaluation activity including the launch and recovery of anthropomorphic dummies carried aloft by high-altitude balloons in response to the newspaper announcement two scientists central to the actual explanation of the roswell events professor charles b moore a former u s army air force's contract engineer and bernard d gildenberg retired holloman afb balloon branch physical science administrator and meteorologist came forward with pertinent information according to moore and gildenberg when they met with the authors their explanations that some of the air force projects they participated in were most likely responsible for the incident they were summarily dismissed the authors even went so far as to suggest that these distinguished scientists were participants in a multifaceted government cover-up to conceal the truth about the roswell incident since many of the roswell accounts and allegations were collected by irregular methods and are not specifically documented the series of events as alleged by ufo theorists has become very complex and requires clarification therefore the following section will briefly examine some of the more confusing elements of the roswell stories specifically the multiple crash sites and complex scenarios in order to facilitate an objective analysis of actual events section one point one the crash sites scenarios and research methods the crash sites from nineteen forty seven until the late nineteen seventies the roswell incident was confined to one alleged crash site this site located on the foster ranch approximately seventy five miles northwest of the city of roswell was the actual landing site of a project mogul balloon train in june nineteen forty seven the mogul landing site is referred to in popular roswell literature as the debris field in the nineteen seventies the nineteen eighties and throughout the nineteen nineties additional witnesses came forward with claims and descriptions of two other alleged crash sites one of these sites was supposedly north of roswell the other site was alleged to have been approximately a hundred and seventy five miles northwest of roswell in an area of new mexico known as the san augustin plains what distinguished the two crash sites from the original debris field were accounts of alien bodies the scenarios ufo enthusiasts have attempted to explain the obvious contradiction of multiple impact sites involving only one alien aircraft through the introduction of complicated scenarios these scenarios have become increasingly convoluted since the proponents of each crash site must make allowances to have their flying saucer at the correct time and place the actual mogul balloon train landing site in early july nineteen forty seven in order to fit with the rest of the story the actual project mogul landing site seventy five miles northwest of roswell lends credibility and more importantly establishes a time frame for the other accounts that include reports of bodies flying saucer enthusiasts used the documented presence of u s a f s personnel at the mogul site in july nineteen forty seven who were there to retrieve the mogul balloon train to provide the nucleus of unrelated and much later accounts that include reports of bodies it must be emphasized that the claims of bodies only became part of the roswell incident after nineteen seventy eight when they were erroneously linked to the july nineteen forty seven retrieval of project mogul components in general roswell incident scenarios claim that a disabled alien craft momentarily touched down at the site seventy five miles northwest of roswell leaving behind parts of the spaceship material that has been subsequently identified as components of a mogul balloon train to create the original debris field the scenarios further contend that the damaged craft again became airborne and flew to its final crash site at either the location north of roswell or one hundred seventy five miles northwest of roswell on the san augustin plains regardless of the dispute over the location an element common to most scenarios was that once recovered the bodies were supposedly transported to the hospital at roswell army airfield for autopsy also common to these theories was that the bodies were later shipped from roswell army airfield to another facility usually wright patterson air force base ohio or a host of other facilities this is another area of further disagreement among ufo theorists for further evaluation and ultimate deep-freeze storage research methods in an attempt to untangle this collection of complicated assertions and determine if there was any validity to the reports of bodies air force researchers faced the task of sorting through and examining anecdotal testimony of hundreds of witnesses however a large number of the accounts were eliminated by applying previously established facts to the testimonies the july nineteen ninety four report to the secretary of the air force clearly presented and documented these facts The U.S. Army Air Forces did not recover an extraterrestrial vehicle and alien crew.

This conclusion was based on extensive research that included a thorough review of both classified and unclassified materials at record depositories, archives, libraries, and research facilities throughout the nation.

Of the millions of pages of material reviewed, there was no mention of any activities that even tangentially suggested such an event

These are separate dated snapshots based on entirely different model mixes.

Oh, so it's a change in the average forecast methodology.

Yes.

It is not an achieved return that a shareholder actually pocketed between July and September.
