    I mean, those two things aren’t mutually exclusive. I can believe the science AND ALSO engage in behaviors it says are unhealthy for me.

        That’s not a scientific thing tho ! Proven to have no effect in fact.

          Proven*

          Samples sizes are always small, confounding variables poorly controlled and control groups often contaminated.

          Long term effect are also poorly studied.

      I agree. I believe science but I seriously think the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is wrong. They made SI bad by glossing over the necessary base unit of angle, there should be 8 base dimension, not 7.

        Except it’s not a unit, it’s a unitless ratio. You’d have one for every number of dimension. The mol is arguably the extra one.

            here’s an article which supports my reasoning https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.05704

              No one stops you from putting radians and steradians in your units. But it’s unitless by definition.

                I strongly disagree with the definition itself. And yes, there are stops that prevent me from doing that in scientific computing resources like sympy, matlab, and my professors.

                  You disagree that a ratio is unitless? What’s the cos of a unit?

                    yep, I don’t think the question “what’s the cos of a unit” is valid because cos expects a plane angle in the input and a unit doesn’t meet that expectation; it’s underdefined; it depends whether the calculator is set to radians or degrees.
