[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2015-10: EPCC and Contract Review

[Daniel Wiener]

I vote Yes, while emphasizing that my vote should not be taken as a
reflection on either our present Chair or our present Director-level staff
members.  But we've had serious problems in the past, where the LNC has
only found out about the contents of negotiated contracts at virtually the
last minute, with no practical opportunity to review them or point out
potential problems.  Since these contracts have huge ramifications, both
financial and organizational, it is incumbent on the LNC to properly vet
them.

*"In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First, we
guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we
compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if
this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare
the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or
experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works. If it
disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG. In that simple statement is the key
to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it
doesn’t matter how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is.
If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.”*
