Every hear of Francesco Redi (1668) and spontaneous generation?OBSERVATION: Where there’s rotting meat there are files.
HYPOTHESIS: Rotting meat spontaneously creates files.
TEST: Isolate rotting meat in fly-proof container.
PREDICTION: If spontaneous generation, flies will be in jar
DATA: No flies inside jar – only outside.
CONCLUSION: Rotting meat only attracts files.Believing you hear an improvement after treating a GSIC disc is only an observation, not a conclusion. Because the observation agrees with your hypothesis that light leaking thru steel case reflecting back as quantum workers to repair the disc – this does not change anything or indicate any conclusion.
Only a test can do that.
