Stand ups (as originally described) shouldn’t be about what you already did, but what you are going to be working on and if there is a need to collaborate.

Most people got the concept wrong and turned them into mini status meetings.

Every single state is in the 90-109 range, so it tells us that every state has an Average IQ. If we believe the data.

Which doesn’t really tell us anything, since that is how averages work.

Maybe you just went to bad schools?

My experience with science and other teachers of every grade was that they stressed how we make new discoveries all the time.

We knew enough to make it extremely useful, but didn’t have a full understanding of the underlying mechanics.

Hate to break it to you, but that is how knowledge works. Even things we have an extremely detailed understanding of are likely to have underlying mechanisms we are not aware of.

There are a ton of things that we know how to replicate and sometimes think we know how they work, but being able to see in more detail or with better pattern recognition can lead to further understanding. The best part is the new understanding can lead to all kinds of possible applications, like being able to regulate static electricity by manipulating surfaces to either increase or decrease the amount created.

Heck, this could possibly lead to lighter materials for electrical insulation if the effects are relevant for electrical conduction in general.

Until Y10k rears its ugly head.
