Default What is viatology?

If you're new to these newsgroups, odds are you've come across the
term 'viatology'. So what is it?

Viatology is simply the scientific study of roads. To help increase
the understanding of roads, in terms of empirical measure, one
conducts field research to show similarities and contrasts between the
world's roads. While the term is just a few years old, viatology has
been practised for several hundred years.

Some examples of viatology include the discovery of road-number
patterns, types of pavement, benefits of one motorway interchange
versus another, and construction impacts on existing thoroughfares.

The fundamentals of viatology rest on the scientific method, which is
discussed well he

http://physics.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physic...00000000000000

It's important to note that viatology is not related to people re-
posting newspaper articles about roads. While this increases short-
term awareness of the media's own interests and objectives, viatology
employs a scientific basis that can be easily understood from
generation to the next. Not to mention, independent scientific
studies effectively increase the breadth of viatology research by
preventing the bottleneck of information distribution.

For more information on viatology, including its etymology and foreign
translations thereof, please visit http://wwtl.info/#viatology.html .

(If you use a smartphone or older computer, please use this link
instead: http://wwtl.info/viatology.html)

With your contributions to viatology, this field may one day be
cemented in scholastic academia and scientific research foundations.
To the future!

Cheers,

Carl Rogers

After 6 months from originally asking, I'm still awaiting the discussion
of your hypothesis and testing regimen.

It's a word that you made up and doesn't appear in a dictionary anywhere.

Can you prove me wrong?

I followed some of the links and found out the MI5 Victim Fellow,
Micheal Corely had an opera written about him:

Yup, our Mike is famous.

Meanwhile that page offers some useful insight into Rodgers' approach to
things:


1. Cranks overestimate their own knowledge and ability, and
underestimate that of acknowledged experts.
2. Cranks insist that their alleged discoveries are urgently
important.
3. Cranks rarely if ever acknowledge any error, no matter how
trivial.
4. Cranks love to talk about their own beliefs, often in
inappropriate social situations, but they tend to be bad
listeners, and often appear to be uninterested in anyone
else's experience or opinions.

Also

Cranks

1. exhibit a marked lack of technical ability,
2. misunderstand or fail to use standard notation and
terminology,
3. ignore fine distinctions which are essential to correctly
understanding mainstream belief.


That really does remind me of someone keen on posting about
"viatrollogy".

They're both cranks, but one's crazy and the other one's just an ass.
