Sure....and 'error bars' can come in very handy when
one wants to fiddle the results.

Ain't stats wonderful?

Even easier not to show them and claim you have a "match"
when you curve is obviously outside the bars, or even
better, don't show the velocity scale on your graph and
claim a "match" when the curves have the same shape even
though the peak amplitude of the measurement is 27983 m/s
but your model predicts 0.0013 m/s ;-)

Wow. I -knew- there was a reason that Henri never responded
to my challenge to display a velocity scale for his radial
velocity curves. I never suspected the discrepancy between
predicted and observed would be SEVEN orders of magnitude!

Notice the wink though, the numbers depend crucially
on whether he has extinction and whether he tries to
use his daft "incompressible photon" idea which is why
I have to work through one stage at a time. His choice
of model determines whether he gets grossly inaccurate
speeds, 90 degree phase errors or multiple images and
possibly a mix of them all. I guess we're a few weeks
away from Henry understanding the consequences of the
theory fully.
