Re: Distribution of measurements in Setterfield's data

Hello,

Here is a table I made based on the data available at the
link below at Lambert Dolphin's Library.

I'm curious about whether these results show anything
wrong or biases in Setterfield's presentation. For example,
if we take Setterfield's claim as the null hypothesis,
then we should be able to come up with a table like the
one below based on Setterfield's claim that the decay of c
follows a decay curve that he specifies.

Plotting all the data points given in Table A1:

doesn't seem to show any obvious trend other than that there's much
more scatter in measurements made before 1915 than later (but the data
from the 1700s is surprisingly good).

His claim seems to be that the value of c declined until the very
moment when we managed to develop good experimental measurements of it
- a highly suspicious conjecture.
