    Trial and error isn’t the only way to optimize things It’s actually one of the worst, the one you use when you have no clue how to proceed

    So no, that is not a justification for having done it or continue to do it

    Now I wonder if substituting the sugar in my coffee with arsenic would render a delicious new beverage Only one way to find out!

      I’m not talking about trial and error, I’m talking about throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

        Is that not trial and error?
