BS categorisation[edit]

I maintain that running a furnace (testing for public safety?) at around 1000°C, then hose-streaming into it because the lab does not have a sufficient crane to lift the sample and thus only tips the sample 45° is a case of severe BS. To add insult to injury, planning a 3h test, then at 1.5h informing the client that there is a 33% chance of furnace collapse, because the lab does not trouble itself to reline the sagging ceramic fibre insulation (sagging because it can't cool down normally, but instead gets nailed by a 30PSI hose stream test causing it to sag, thus leaving the bare steel shell of the furnace exposed to 1000°C, potentially turning it to spaghetti before the test duration is up, would be a cse of Super BS. But there is no such category, so normal BS will have to suffice.--Achim Hering (talk) 17:14, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
