More about Penon, and the essence of the dispute here
Please compare these two data;
37.57 km/hour and
21.09 km/hour
These the average speeds attained during
100 m run and
at the marathon (42.195 km) as show
the present athletic world records. For the long range test you can/must run slower.
And Penon was accused for incompetence because he has chosen an flowmeter seemingly oversized- actually specially calibrated on purpose.
his task was to choose and test instruments for an marathon test and for this resistant instruments with constancy in reading are necessary- specifically a flowmeter calibrated for the conditions in which it will function- - sealed for a year- then verified by re-calibration in the same
conditions. (documents at the Court)
The flowmeter has rotating parts and these must be as resistant to wear as possible.
Obviously a minimum number of rotations possible is good- this is the very reason, the logic, the superior technological common sense that has guided Penon in choosing the type of apometer.
- aimed for behaving well during the loneliness of the long distance Runner. And it had!
Industrial experience.
Thinking about Penon who was viciously attacked here from the vety start- I realize an essential thing.
The Rossi killers here are not so much corrupt
(funding is limited) as indoctrinated and self-indoctrinated to hate. Rossi must be hated! and then hatred is extended to his collaborators to his supporters - ostracized to a strange asylum like fictive Planet- hate everything related to Rossi.
Hate the Plant, hate the instruments, but focus on persons. It is something pathological in this but it is human, it is overall, in the worst senses...just it is not effective and not efficient.
It is useless to speak aaout the chief indoctrinators proselytizing "hate Rossi!"
Understand them, they are lacking technical proofs.
