Trotting out some deontological ethics here, but “the ends do not justify the means”. Iranian regime is problematic no doubt, and perhaps more so when one digs into its origins.
But thank you for getting a vote on record: we have a clear sense of who bears the responsibility lies for this fiasco.
“I used to dream of becoming a scientist and returning to my village one day—visiting the school, talking to children about how incredible and mysterious the universe is,” says astronomer Olena Kompaniiets. “But now the school is gone, and so is the village. There is nowhere to return to.”

Congratulations, pal.

Terrifyingly accurate.
I can’t think of another time in modern American history where the gestalt has veered so sharply away from plain old common sense, and a trust in hard earned expertise. The gains made in the fight against human suffering are paid for in blood. To throw it all away: shameful.

“I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape.”

This is an hour long, but worth a listen. Contextual or law enforcement bias, especially in combination with unaccepted scientific methods, or even established methods with unclear decision criteria, can and has - led to adverse criminal justice outcomes.

Watergate was discovered on June 17, 1972, when security guard Frank Wills found tape covering door locks at the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., leading to the arrest of 5 burglars in DNC headquarters.
What if Willis had kept quiet?
Would you have spoken up?

Finally, case files create a permanent scientific record. Years later, they allow re-examination, appeals review, or method improvement while maintaining historical integrity of the original forensic work. (7/7)
07.02.2026 22:51 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Case files also preserve context — communications, requests, limitations, and deviations from standard methods. This helps prevent misunderstandings about what the lab was asked to do versus what the data actually supports. (6/7)

(7/7) In forensic science, poor matrix-effect evaluation can lead to false negatives, inflated uncertainty, or courtroom challenges.

(6/7) If that calculation is done wrong — wrong baseline, bad controls, or math errors — analysts might think a method is accurate when it isn’t. The reported concentration could be biased low or high without anyone realizing. Or, if analysts were in a rush, or biased, the error passes undetected.
