37. Confluent Findings

The computations of Fatoohi et al entail elements of circular reckoning. Possibly the aimed for end result unduly influenced the work. Their findings seem too good to be true.

However, the concurrence between lagtime observation and computation is not surprising. The excellent match is comparable to the box score toted up in the section Testing the Diaries. (See frame 24, Box Score) TheSky does not equal the accuracy claimed by Fatoohi et al, but Feat of Clay used the software mostly to test observations of planets. They move slowly across the background of fixed stars, and hence the observations are not sensitive to delta-T and other corrective factors.
