    I'd like to know how you can make that claim since most of Psychology is based on comparing a control group with an experimental group, and if there is 5% or more difference then your hypothesis assumed to be correct.
    Firstly 5% is just flat out arbitrary.
    Secondly, in all the Psychology experiments I've ever seen anyway, there are nearly always other equally credible reasons/explanations for the cause of the observed difference, yet these are always conveniently ignored.

    It definately looks like on the PC version at least, they're rendering it at a much lower resolution than the screen resolution then upscaling it.

    My guess is that because its a small team, the PC version has been intentionally shot in the foot so that they can use the same code for both it and the console version, rather than have to do any more work.

  12. I've used HP printers exclusively for decades, mostly because they "just work" with Linux.
    I recently had to get rid of my still perfectly working HP all-in-one (PSC950) because it wouldn't work with Windows 10 and HP aren't concerned enough to support it anymore.
    I switched my brand loyalty to Epson entirely because of these stupid ink cartridge games HP keep playing, and because Epson have individual cartridges for each ink colour, whereas none of the HPs I was looking at did. I calculate that In about 6 months of ownership, just my ink bill savings from going Epson this time round have more than paid for the new printer. It was only $89 but its actually a great networked printer/scanner.

    Yes it has its roots there but Philosophy doesn't determine whats science or not.

    > This physics is not science?
    You need to stop muddling the process and the result. As long as the process you're following can lead to a formally provable result then its fair to say its science. Until it has produced a formally provable result then all you've got are just a bunch of hypotheses. Studies such as philosophy, metpshysics, psychology etc dont even attempt to follow a truly rigorous scientific method. I anticipate and agree with your argument that they often can't just by the nature of the subject, but that doesn't give them a free pass to call themselves a science either, no matter how much those who study them would like it to be.
