i have and i'm exactly saying that if it comes to pass one of them is wrong it's going to backfire. ie yes that's my exact point/bet.

I don't think anyone would particularly care if only one of them is wrong, if most are correct.

If they are all wrong, that's when it would backfire.

What does a backfire look like? It's ok to be wrong in the science/math world.
reply
of course in science/math it is but it's not okay if you're a business selling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious infallible intelligence.

Do they claim that's the case? I don't think they do.

does company A making product B claim that the product is robust and consistent? is this a serious question?

If you were waiting for companies to sell engines that never break down you'd still be stuck pre industrial revolution while the rest of the world has been to space.

The question never if something works 100% of the time but how often it breaks and how that fits the need well. Solving one of these problems is a massive undertaking and accomplishment for the best minds, solving hundreds in a month but being wrong about 10% or something would likely not be the death knell you believe it to be.

It's likely that way more than just one of these is wrong. But even if it turns out 80% is wrong this is still 100+ results...
