    climate models tend to replace "basic physics" with empirical short-term relations between carbon concentrations
    Which modle are you referring to? Ah the one that is haunting you in your sleep?

    and assume unbounded exponential growth of carbon emissions
    Why would a climate model assume growth of carbon emissions? What has that to do with modeling climate? Oh, nothing ... idiot.

    You also have to assume that there are no additional negative feedback loops to counteract the effects
    And which would that be? Genius?

    those feedback loops are not "basic physics", can't be "demonstrated in a laboratory",
    Of course they are pure physics ... perma frost melting, released CH4 ... warmer oceans, release of methane hydride. Idiot!

    You make no sense, sorry.

    If you have 100% code coverage, you have 100% coverage of all "if's" "else's" and "loops", too.

    Or how do you think I magically test a line in the middle of an if block without testing the line with the "if"?

    I would rather have a suite that actually tests some subset of the code exhaustively than a suite that runs each line once and claims that everything is perfectly tested.
    What is the point of testing the same line of code multiple times with different tests? Unless: it is an "if" or the "loop condition". Which you obviously test with the corner cases.

    The only thing you are right with: if I test an If only for success and not for failure, I have 100% coverage but miss an important case. Similar for loop conditions.

    You can not simply teach something.

    People have to learn by doing the stuff. And there they need feedback or a strong way of self reflection.

    The idea that one learns about any software topic by just sitting in a CS course is nonsense. It is more like martial arts.

    Then you only met sucky ScrumMasters.
    For the team Scrum should reduce the workload that is not related to programming extremely and not add any overhead.
    A good ScrumMaster will manage about 4 teams. So no: you don't need a full time ScrumMaster!
    Besides organization/communication beyond the team, that means upper management, coordinating several teams etc. the job of a Scrum.master is: to implement/teach scrum. And then he makes himself superflouvious and all team related scrum stuff can be done by the team without need of a ScrumMaster.
