So it's being stropped by a deaf person, or maybe a well trained deaf animal (one of the ape family, possibly), or Jimbo's stropping robot that was talked about before...?

Are we their pets and they strop to excite us; like giving a dog a treat? Hmmm?Last edited by carlmaloschneider; 10-27-2012 at 03:28 AM.

Too bad in the prequels the force was reduced to how many microscopic organism you had in your body-midichlorians. wtf?

Over stropping

Re: Over stropping
So it's like heisenberg on the researchers!
The observing effects the observed!

No, not quite. The Hawthorne effect predicts that participants who are aware of observation will change their behaviour regardless of their baseline behaviour. H.E. has little to do with the observer per se, but rather in the participant's awareness of being observed.
You are correct in that observing affects the observed.

If you check back in the Archives you will find some experiments that were done not only on the "Amount" of stropping but even the "Speed" used...
Some of the numbers of laps went way beyond the 200 level IIRC there were some in the 600+ levels, what most people found that was that somewhere between 50-75 laps on leather was the point of diminishing returns..
There were also experiments made in "Dedicated" stropping on linen and leather to bring back an edge pretty interesting outcomes there..
Search a member "Mparker" he did quite a bit of stropping

Over stropping
Once I deduced the fractal dimensions it verified that all observations are exactly duplicated at every integer value of scale even down to scales so minuscule as to be un-observable even to the aided eye.
So I ask, if something takes place that is both visible to the eye AND not visible to the eye (due to processes under way that are far to fine to visualize), is it possible for observation to affect the outcome?
