The reason I’m posting this is that I’ve become very skeptical about any theory which claims that something which is well-attested and physically possible is actually not happening.
How do you know rogue waves are physically possible if you have never seen any? They don’t follow the equations for wave height that people used to model weight heights.
The equations that people did use did predict the wave heights that scientists observed.
Maybe the lesson is:
Don’t assume the variable you are studying is normally distributed just because all your observations fit a normal distribution.
Don’t assume the variable you are studying is normally distributed just because all your observations fit a normal distribution.
Also don’t assert your observations fit a normal distribution unless you’ve gathered enough data to distinguish a normal distribution from other distributions. It’s remarkably common for scientists to just compute a mean and standard deviation and assume the data is normally distributed.
Also don’t assert your observations fit a normal distribution unless you’ve gathered enough data to distinguish a normal distribution from other distributions.
Well, they had a lot of data about waves in the ocean but still got it wrong.

Another lesson might be: don’t assume that large numbers of people with similar observations have to be lying or mistaken.

Did anyone actually analyze the distribution of wave heights?
In classical physics people did develop forumla to model waves. Freakwaves don’t follow those classical formula.
