      They added a parameter that wasn't part of the myth. That was the issue. No one said it inflated the tire forever, nor did they say the maintenance was finished after the seating. You still have to put air in it afterward, which is easily done with a regular manual pump (which all drivers should keep one in their trunk anyway!), so... Yeah.

      Definitely some misunderstanding about the purpose of the trick, it was only ever about seating the tyre, which is the hardest part, particularly if you're roadside without a very hefty compressor. Once that's done you can inflate it with as little as a hand pump.

It doesn't seem that the person doing it in the video is claiming the tire is properly inflated, but that the sudden influx of pressure FORCES it to seat.

    The loaded car was always gonna work. Even if the load causes some unsafe handling conditions, the way the suspension is designed makes it so it bottoms out without the tire touching the wheel well. There is a physical piece of metal supporting the suspension, keeping it well above the tire, you could never overload a car to the point of the tire being jammed into the wheel well.

    We trained one arm on the 1911ACP and other hand guns. No body armor in those days and presenting the whole torso squared on was not a good idea. High marksmanship was achieved.

      The issue with their test parameters is that they're looking to dump the full mag at 15 feet quickly, which causes issues. I've seen guys go akimbo (two guns for those who don't know) and get tight groupings in a silhouette. All about drilling and breaking the technique down.

      That's kinda weird cause the 1911 was intended to be used with 2 handed shooting which was unusual as one handed shooting was the norm at the time. Many at the time were dismissive of the 1911 ACP because it was too heavy and had too much recoil for effective one handed shooting.

      @@lesvernornvienas8232 So you haven't truly disproven my statement. Merely presented an alternative outlook with the hopes it produced the same results. The outlook is the same. Whether you are looking at a NOVICE usage of one vs another or looking at DRILLING one vs another, the question remains the same: Is drilling one method vs another better? Is one NOVICE usage of one vs another better? Either way, a truly objective test has not been done. Delta mandate learning to fire without aiming (a method I have named 'intuitive aim') to enter the operations group (my point). They did not test absolute novices on the differences between the stance types (your point). My original point stands.
      This test proves almost nothing, other than what drilling stance types provides to accuracy. They have learned the Weaver, and thus have been taught that Weaver is best, and therefore created testing parameters that mandated that they use what they have drilled to get best results. Most special operations groups learn particular stances for 'best results', but my argument is that VERY RARELY does drilling only one shooting stance provide good results.

      I know that the body target was what things were scored off, but you can see a LOT of head hits on some of the poses that did badly on the body target.
      And head shots are generally "disabling" shots in a real gunfight. This may mean some of the 'losing' poses are more lethal than they seem.

    The simplest explanation for the Monty Hall Problem (not Paradox, because it isn't) is Jamie's first suggestion of using cards. Of course, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
    Take 99 sets of Ace, King, Queen. Ace wins, King and Queen lose. Randomize each set so it's a true test. Pick one card from each set, and before you turn it over, ask your test subject how many of the choices are going to be winners. Anyone with even the most basic understanding of probability will say 1/3, or 33. Set those cards aside, and ask how many winners there are likely to be among the unchosen cards. Answer is 66, of course. Flip over one non-winner from each set of two unchosen cards, then remind the person that they already know there are probably 33 winners in the chosen cards, so there are probably 66 winners among the unchosen, unflipped cards. Now do they want to switch?
    My problem with the gun test is that they are comparing their scores in a method they've both trained in against methods they've never used before. It would be like a basketball player shooting free throws the way he always has and then trying the Rick Barry-style underhand technique without ever having practiced it and concluding it doesn't work.

    • @AdeptusCaeiusIII
      @AdeptusCaeiusIII 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Make it worse in the stance test: They tested with TIME as a variable. Time is never a variable. You cannot miss fast enough to win a gunfight or shooting match. If the doubled ammunition was an issue for scoring, cut each Akimbo (double guns) score in half, then average Adam and Jamie. Then, you take your time on each shot and you see that (with all shots allowed the time to make the shot) you disincentivize haphazard shooting for measured shots, and all the stances (but for the hip shot) would have scored marginally well.
      After that, it is all drilling and depth perception. I know guys who can put 20 rounds in Zone A(the center) of a silhouette at 15 feet. 20/20.

      For the Monty Hall Problem, there's a pretty easy way to make it very intuitive: For one, make it 100 (or 1000 or so) doors with only one "winner" door. Second, look at it from the perspective of the host, about which door(s) he can open.
      There's two scenarios:
      (1) The candidate has actually picked the right door (1% chance in case of 100 doors). The host can pick any of the other 99 doors to leave closed and open all others. So if the candidate switches, they'll lose - but the chance of being in this situation is that 1%.
      (2) The candidate has picked a "losing" door (99% chance). Now the host has only *_one_* door he can leave closed and must open all others. No choice whatsoever, the one remaining closed door is the winning door. And the chance of being in this situation is that 99%.
      So, by switching, the candidate would lose only in 1 out of 100 cases, win in all 99 other cases.

      Having never fired a gun in my life, I immediately guessed it would be the worse. When you fire a handgun normally, your arm is line with the direction of the gun's recoil, meaning you can counter-act the recoil with the entire strength of your arm. When you tilt it sideways, the forces are now moving in a direction where the only thing you can use to counteract the recoil is your wrist, which isn't very strong.

      @@jordanberndt4157 That affects the time to shoot all of them, not accuracy. The original poster talked about the accuracy, which logically speaking, should be higher than a hip-shot.
      The problem here is that there is a fixed correlation between the sight and the path of the bullet due to gravity. They shot as if the sight was up top, while it was on the side. It's like shooting with a sight that shows totally different spot.
      The weavers hold is most certainly the most stable and accurate, but the problem with this testing is that...they were actually trained in it, which they admitted themselves. They tried to shoot in accordance with the rules of shooting with it even when they didn't use it. They also did much better with it for obvious reason. They were on the other hand total rookies with all the others, so they should have compared it to a total rookie weaver-shooting. THAT is what a point of reference means. Where only the factor tested is the difference.
      As proof, there are quick-shot tournaments where people shoot more accurately than either Adam or Jamie, faster than them, from hip, all the while adding pulling out the gun from the holster into the mix.

    The Monty Hall Paradox is actually very simple if you think about it. You know whichever door Monty opens will have nothing behind it, leaving you with what seems like 50/50 odds, but it's not, because that third door still applies.
    Regardless of the number on the door, from the start of the game, your choices boil down to:
    [$] - you stick, you win; you switch, you lose.
    [0] - you stick, you lose; you switch, you win.
    [0] - you stick, you lose; you switch, you win.
    Ergo, because there's 1/3 chance to win and 2/3 to lose, switching also swaps those odds to a 2/3 chance to win and 1/3 to lose.

    Adam and Jamies hip shooting test needs further testing. I believe this style is for really close quarters shooting where the target is in the range of 3 to 6 feet at the most. Their test was done static standing at a distance of about 15 feet apart. And the 3 young peoples tire inflating test had some issues. Firstly, too much starter fluid was used especially on the first attempt. Secondly the area where they were testing was windy and the starter fluid did not spread evenly around the rim of the tire. Thirdly, the tires they were using seemed rather crumbly and old. A reasonably decent tire should have been used. However, I do enjoy the myth busting series thoroughly...

    Regarding the grenade myth: Soldiers usually wear helmets. They won't stop a rifle bullet - but they got quite a chance to stop a grenade fragment.
    Obviously, it would still suck to have fragments in your arms or shoulders - but that's significantly less lethal.
    There is also a difference in grenade design: There are offensive and defensive hand grenades.
    Defensive grenades have more splintering effect - they are designed to be used out of some sort of defensive structure. The US baseball grenade is one of those.
    Offensive grenades have less splintering effect - they are used to clear defensive structures out of the open. ruzzian hand grenades are of this type.

      Bear in mind they also chose to test as close to the blast as they could while removing the shock from the equation. Five feet is not enough space for the blast to propagate upward in the wave form it innately follows. They even mentioned 'yes, the shrapnel is moving upward, but not enough'. Put the targets at 10-15 feet and see how much safer hitting the deck would be. Would probably be even less shrapnel. Not a direct reduction, but probably a Log function.

  • @illnoon
    @illnoon 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The problem with how they tested the Monty Hall Paradox is that, the goal is to check is the player has a better chance of winning when he switches door, but Adam and Jaime would often choose different initial door, readding the luck element back in the test. That variable should be removed as much as possible, so what they should have done is selected the same door every time and look at the result of switching vs not switching from there.

    • @Condorian_
      @Condorian_ 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      But you can just look at the graph behind them to know when a switch or stick would earn a win or not. Just see on Jaime's side all the blank squares. Had he chosen to switch, he would've won. Same with Adam, all the blank sqaures on his side would've earned him a win if he chose to stick. What they did just halved the time it took them to record that experiment.

    • @illnoon
      @illnoon 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You slightly miss the point of my comment, my point is that the chart behind them show that Adam(switching)'s action were more likely to win, but the goal was to test if switching is better than not switching, if both of them are given the exact same case (where the win is) and each of them choose the same door, in the case which one is more likely to win? Would the charts be in a similar state?
      I just feel like they left in too much a Luck variable in their testing.@@Condorian_

    • @Condorian_
      @Condorian_ 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @illnoon it doesn't matter which door is chosen though. Since the win door is random, it doesn't make sense to keep choosing the same door because it is still 1/3 of a chance to get it right regardless.
      It's like playing the lottery. It doesn't matter if you choose 1-2-3-4-5-6 as your numbers or 13-21-32-34-49-54. It's still the same chance to win.
      The paradox and the experiment are based around chances, and you can't take it away from it. Choosing the same door or not wouldn't change anything.

    For the grenade myth I feel like they didn’t really do it justice… at just the limit where the blast doesn’t kill you is still too close to the explosion. With the shrapnel it’s clear that the further the distance the further upwards it flies. My guess is that at 8 feet you’d see even less shrapnel down at the ground and at 10-12 feet you may see no shrapnel at all.
    Obviously the further away you go you’re just lowering your odds of getting hit by shrapnel. It’s also never going to be 100% that you’d be totally fine… there’s always a risk… but I kinda wish they tested more distance besides just the minimum that’s safe from the blast wave. With grenades having about a 5 second fuse timer it also means you probably don’t have enough time to process the grenade landing, where it is, which direction to go, start running and dive in the time it takes to go off… so arguably your best case is to hit the deck as soon as someone yells grenade.
    Anyway… I would have liked to have seen the effectiveness of dropping at different ranges from the explosion. 6 feet, 7 feet, 8 feet and so on… but regardless, still a great episode!

    @14:00 really? That's nonsense. Switching has a perfect relationship to sticking in that it perfectly inverts the outcome.
    Either way, it's easier to see how the 'paradox' works if you move to extremes. Suppose there are 1 million doors. They pick one. The host opens every other door except one more, intentionally revealing only loosing doors. Your original chance is 1 in 1 million. The chance of every remaining door combined just got concentrated into that single other door.

What is more likely, that you happened to chose the correct door or that the other one is the corrct one?

    The one arm straight out technique (aka "the Dueling Stance") has the advantage of minimising your profile, meaning that if you don't have any body armor then it might actually be the better option in a firefight.

    The stick or switch thing seems like blind luck, or misunderstood\manipulated data.
    You ALWAYS have 3 choices in the example given.
    So you ALWAYS have a 33% chance to pick correctly.
    Without knowing the answer, those 33% odds come out fairly. If you had weird historical data like "Oh, of a sample size of 200 door openings, the left most door was 7.1% more frequent" to adjust for stuff (Which might and likely won't do you any good) we are talking about nothing but mathwank.
    33% is 33%.
    You take away one door, congrats. 2 choices means 50% to succeed and 50% to fail. It's still a literal, actual coin flip.
    Except a coin flip you can eventually pseudo-rig to work in your favor by flipping a certain way, in certain conditions, etc. PURE LUCK does not get this treatment.

      There are people who shoot cross-arm Akimbo(which they called 'Criss-Cross') and do fine. Akimbo(2-gun shooting) is a viable technique, but they were untrained in doing it appropriately and were calculating for time, which necessitates dumping rounds downrange instead of trying to actually be accurate. There are Special Operations groups that actually train in 'intuitive shooting' (no-aim, as Delta calls it) and Akimbo shooting techniques, because they DO work in some situations. Are they perfect? No. But they have their uses.

      Gangster style is the position naturally assumed when you raise your arm; the palm is pronated. This isn't going to change if you're holding a pistol. And I don't know how they are holding their weapon that they cannot use the sights.
      The reason people 'naturally' fire a pistol upright is because historically that's the only practical orientation for a rifle, and (usually) for a longbow.

      You need to cite a primary source for that claim. Look at the pattern of those two blasts. If your abdomen is covering the grenade, _all_ that detonation wave and all of the shrapnel is going to be intercepted by your body. Guts, heart, and lungs --> hamburger and stewing beef.

    With the gun stance myth, of course the gun stance they trained in is the most effective. All the other stances they haven't trained in or used before, so all you can conclusively say is "the other stances mostly sucked if you were trying them for the first time." How effective would they be if you trained to use them and then compared them? No idea because they didn't test that. Nor did they get an expert marksman to try them out and evaluate them, which would have been far more informative.

The group with 2 doors has a 66% chance of containing the prize, so switching doubles your chances of winning. Proof that Bay area democrats are really really dumb.
