Perhaps you would appear less confused if you drop the "middle"
designation and assign them names (or numbers) so that it's possible

I've mentioned the plague of irreproducible results* in
modern science here for years. It's getting worse and the
numbers are staggering. Whether from incompetence or
outright fraud this cannot continue without a tragic ending.

I don't think that you can call it outright fraud. People with a
degree like Liebermann who don't have the ability to return to first
principles do misinterprit what they consider to be odd result from an
experiment and build entire lunatic interpretations to them. The
latest is "room temperature superconductors"

So building test equipment that makes it appear to have such a thing

Now much greater skepticism of published papers finds them to be 50%
or more absolutely wrong. When you think that a degree can be of worth
to anyone that puts in the time and money you discover that an idiot
will always be an idiot and peer review ONLY works if 1. The peer
actually reviews the work and 2. He is smart enough to have been a
fair reviewer.

I would like you to actually watch the garbage spread all over these
pages of Usenet. Probably 98% of it is simply opinion and untrue. The
other 2% is misunderstood fact for the most part and occassionally
someone like Jobst or Jute comes along whose opinions are based on
facts and proven interpretations and not opinions based on feelings
based on nothing.

Liebermann cannot even remember that I have 3 step-daughters and one
step-son and he is telling us I am wrong about things that I did and
was paid for while he couldn't even find work? Krygowski believes that
you can tell the difference between a 26.8 mm, a 27 mm and a 27.2 mm

Is it any wonder that you discover that only very few people can
actually make use of a college education. Most especially in science.
I read my way through three libraries to acquire the knowledge to
BEGIN my education. Krygowski learned to teach future engineers by
being a plant engineer? Hopefully the text books were good.

Funny how tommy "read out" three libraries, yet never came across an
account of the assassination attempt on Truman.

    Of what use was a knowledge of politics for one headed for a career in science? You tell us that you have a degree in electronics engineering and yet are incapable of programming. One therefore infers that you NEVER took a class in digital electronics which would demand a knowledge of programming.
 I wish that just ONE of you three would be capable of telling the truth, but you have shown that is a wish never to be fulfilled.
 

Taking nothing from the technical arts (I have many hours invested in trade school and a large multiple of those in training employees over the years), to educate oneself used to mean a passing familiarity with the many fields of science, mathematics, languages, history, culture etc besides general practical skills*, all outside one's specialty.  I think that's a goal more than a standard but it's a goal worth pursuing throughout life.
*practical skills including yes basics of programming- logical processes and systems, more than actual composition in hexadecimal or whatever.
