Strange things happen in HP3458-land. During the brief cold spell two weeks ago, the room temperature went down and fluctuated a bit (as can be seen from the internal temperature of the HP3458). At the same time, ADC gain drift (CAL? 72) went from -0.30ppm/d to -0.16ppm/d. I'm really wondering about cause and correlation at the moment. While thermal cycle annealing is a thing, there is no hint that something like this might be going on in any of the temperature fluctuations before.
Debunking all the rumours and conspiracy theories is a hopeless effort. Even if you put in the time to make solid counter-arguments, you'd still only be preaching to the converted. A better solution might be to instead spread as many crazy ideas as possible, but craft them such that belief causes only minimal harm, thus drowning out the dangerous one.
Is there someone out there who knows how routing & co on the internet is done today and wouldn't mind to spend half an hour to an hour on a skype call with a scientist?
I got sucked into a large-scale networking science project from the atomic clock side. And it seems like I know more about routing than anyone else in the project. But my knowledge is limited to what I learned from unix administration and small scale ISPs. I would like to expand my knowledge to how it is really done [tm].
