Anyone who knows how this testing works realizes that it is not accurate on specimens of recent date. It is based upon predictable and consistent isotope half-life which requires a long period of time to decay enough to be measured. It is not that the tests are not useful or that they are the work of the “devil”, it just means that the testing criteria require specimens to be of at least a certain age before the tests can measure anything.
No, it only means that the index was erroneously established. I use statistics regularly in my work, and won’t be fooled by slight of hand, because I have used similar tricks myself.
