This is the question by Thornton that started it all
| Quote | Hey Joe,
Suppose I am out hiking and find a really neat rounded granite river rock the size and shape of baseball. How do I calculate the CSI in it, or tell if it has any CSI at all?
I like it so much I hire a master stonemason to make me an identical copy. This requires I draw up a detailed BOM for the material composition, size, shape, etc. plus detailed specifications for the carving instructions. The copy obviously has lots of 'CSI' since it came from a detailed plan, right?
When the copy is done it is absolutely indistinguishable from the original. Then, clumsy me drops the two and gets them mixed up. How can I measure the CSI to tell the naturally occurring original from the highly specified copy? |
I've seen Joe G say lots of incredibly stupid things in my day, but having him claim a rock can't be the size of a baseball just to avoid any discussion of measuring CSI has to be at the very top.
