If you take the time to sit down and think, really think, you may come to the conclusion I am not defecating at all on Chromate. Quite the opposite. My comments are designed to help him/her/they/ze/other improve. The comments are constructive. However, I can understand your POV. Many of you have some type of Stockholm syndrome variant with the historical analytical testing services available. I get it. My goal is to elevate the quality and technical rigor.
For example, I made some similar comments to Janoshik and asked why he was using 5 significant figures in his test reports. Clearly he is just fine shooting out reports that may drastically exaggerate method precision. I feel for you guys. I really do.
Thanks for your question.
P.S. take a look at Chromate's test report above. How many significant figures in the result? Without appropriate supporting details one can see it is a race to the bottom trying to show parity with Janoshik's reporting "standard".
But let's ask
@Chromate as a person with undergraduate chemistry degree....why did you report the result with 5 significant figures
@Chromate ?
