1 # Snowman Science 2 3 Why is it scientific to use snowmen for error messages in quality 4 assurance? 5 6 Let us draw one: 7 8 y=\frac{\sin x}{x}-1\left\{-0.965\ge x,x\ge0.965\right\} 9 x^{2}+\left(y-1\right)^{2}=\left(1.5\right)^{2} 10 x^{2}+\left(y-3.5\right)^{2}=1 11 x^{2}+\left(y-1\right)^{2}\le\frac{1}{16} 12 x^{2}+\left(y-1.75\right)^{2}\le\frac{1}{16} 13 x^{2}+\left(y-0.25\right)^{2}\le\frac{1}{16} 14 \left(x+0.375\right)^{2}+\left(y-3.875\right)^{2}\le\frac{1}{36} 15 \left(x-0.375\right)^{2}+\left(y-3.875\right)^{2}\le\frac{1}{36} 16 \left\{0\le x\le0.75:-\frac{1}{2}x+3.625\right\}\ge y\ge-\frac{1}{6}x+3.375 17 y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3.625\left\{0\le x\le0.75\right\} 18 y=-\frac{1}{6}x+3.375\left\{0\le x\le0.75\right\} 19 y=\sqrt{1+x^{2}}+1.875\left\{-0.375\le x\le0.375\right\} 20 y=\frac{\left|x\right|}{1.75}+0.75\left\{-2.375\le x\le-1.396,1.396\le x\le2.375\right\} 21 22 (Source: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/hsepj6fcal ) 23 24 Now that we have proven that snowmen are pure science, no further 25 evidence is needed. 26 27 Thank you for your patience. 28
