Aspirin doesn't prevent anything.  It reduces the probability of
forming blood clots in the heart (coronary thrombosis) or arteries
(arterial thrombosis).  These clots can later break loose, become
lodged in the heart or brain, and produce a heart attack or stroke.
Incidentally, I'm scheduled for a Transthoracic Echo W Doppler in late
August to look for exactly this problem.

Liebermann, you're simply too much, virtually ALL medications work as a percentage and not 100% as you claim.

What does this have to do with what I wrote above?  Of course
medicines and medical procedures have a less than 100% efficacy.  If
the medication is used regularly, we tend to develop an immunity to
the medicine.  If bacteria or viruses are involved, they can become
more resistant to the medication eventually making the medication less
effective.  In both cases, the efficacy is less than 100%. 

Please tell me what the efficacy of aspirin to reduce blood clotting
has to do with a less than 100% efficacy for aspirin.  Be sure to
include what percentage, over what time span, you consider to be an
acceptable percentage drug efficacy for use in treating heart disease.

I asked you to stop acting like an expert about things you know

nothing about.

I ignored you.  You complain that I'm "acting like an expert" while
you do that same thing, except you provide no corroborating evidence.
If you find that acceptable, please prefix your claims with "In my
opinion" or some other excuse for not disclosing your sources.

So like the complete ass you are you quote "studies" that you don't understand.

How do you know that I don't understand them when you haven't read
them?  I'll confess that I don't understand everything that I offer as
sources and for corroboration.  At a minimum, I make sure that the
report agrees with my claims.  I find it very amusing that the few
times you have attempted to provide sources for your amazing facts,
the sources usually contradict those amazing facts or are from dubious
and politicized sources. 

This should be your favorite study but it disproves your entire life:
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124

Why should it be my favorite study?  The article is dated August 30,
2005 with a correction Aug 25, 2022.  Perhaps you can find something
less than 17 years old? 

To be fair, the article is correct.  Most, if not all, published
research reports have errors.  It's almost impossible to not have
errors on experimental research.  It's exactly like the efficacy of
your aspirin to mitigate the effects of excessive clot formation.
There's no way we will ever see 100% efficacy.

So, what percentage of a published research report to you require to
be considered true?  Pick a number.  99.999% true?  Some lesser
percentage?  If so, how much less?  At what efficacy do you refuse
treatment and claim that it's not safe?  Think about your antivax
hysteria before answering.

You want to correct people who have actually done things when you have done nothing at all!

I want to correct everyone and anyone who provides wrong information.
I've probably correct everyone who posts to rec.bicycles.tech.  You're
the only person who has complained when I offer a correction.  At
best, you offer a change of subject.

As for accomplishments, I posted at your request a list of products
that I designed.  I had to do it from memory and remembered 13
products that I helped design:
"Tell us ONE DEVICE you designed or programmed?"
<https://www.novabbs.com/tech/article-flat.php?id=125252&group=rec.bicycles.tech#125252>
Notice my words "helped design".  I was not the only engineer working
on some of these products.  Therefore, I cannot claim to be the sole
designer as you have occasionally done.  If you were a member of a
team, you should give credit to the other members of the team and not
hog all the glory for yourself.  Please remember that the next time
you claim to have "designed" something.  At best, you wrote the
firmware for your product.

Tom.  Now that I've answered your question, I would be greatly
entertained if you provided me with a list of companies and products
that you designed an programmed. 

Incidentally, I did not included the consulting jobs I did on the side
after I became self employed.  Most of these consulting jobs were
damage control (finishing a project, cleaning up someone's mess,
sanity check on calculations, bad component selection, failure to
honestly meet specs, etc).  I could add some of these jobs, but
strictly speaking, the work was neither design or programming.
