These "debunked conspiracies" are the official French statistics.

Take all that as an example of how an engineer quantifies a problem 
before treating it. It's not so far from computer programming.

How do you think I chose the algorithms implemented in the Gambas 
interpreter and compiler?

For example: do you think that the Gambas compiler has been made 
following the official way of writing a compiler? Nope.

You must measure and quantify what the code you write does, not be 
surprised that the official way is wrong, start thinking about how all 
the different layers of hardware work, write the code differently and 
finally get a twice faster compiler.

It's the same thing when you launch rocket, build planes, etc. There is 
the theory, usually beautiful, and what the engineers do, which is 
different from what the beautiful theory tells to do.

There was recently an article in Scientific American that explains that 
nobody know exactly -why- airplanes can fly. Engineers can build 
airplanes that fly, but the official theories can't fully explain why. A 
fascinating paper.
