Dude I wasn’t trying to disparage you, but I think it’s pretty clear you were trying to argue I was “technically” right but wrong in some other more important way. You even threw in that you’re a doctor lol so am I

Moving air does actually cool better without evaporation. The air just has to be colder than the thing. That’s why your computer has fans.

Language is alive and new products and techniques lead to changes. I don’t see this causing any confusion. Your example proves my point—the reason the resident would be humiliated is because it’s obvious from context that you were expecting a 12-lead.
Who is being misled? Who both understands a proper EKG is 12 leads but doesn’t also immediately realize this would be impossible with a watch?
What does “monitoring strip” mean in the context of a wrist watch? That would be very confusing.

That’s not an exception, it’s a different thing from convective heat transfer

He’s wrong because Garmin already does a bunch of stuff other than satellite beacons, not because he’s comparing a watch to a phone

Apple watch’s EKG is also FDA cleared

An EKG doesn’t have to have 12 leads and doesn’t have to know any criteria. Do you think the first EKGs knew scarbossa’s criteria?
Apple also calls it an EKG.

We already know EKG is effective in diagnosing disease. This means they were able to show similar performance to existing EKGs and I think it’s kind of a big deal. I’ve gotten an FDA clearance and I can tell you believe it or not it means something and they don’t just hand them out.
E: if you think using the phrase FDA cleared is meant to be deceptive, please tell us what phrase would be more appropriate. It’s exactly the correct thing to say.

A knee-jerk reaction to perceived American exceptionalism? I didn't even say our way was better, but most people don't understand nuance if it isn't spoon-fed to them.

There are tradeoffs, "more" isn't inherently "better". I'm in the US and I can't remember the last time I tripped a breaker, though I remember quite vividly the last time I got a shock.

Reply to comment by The_Illist_Physicist in Does the spinning of a bullet have any effect on its drag? by Eastern-Ability8411
>For a spinning projectile, this total shear stress value is larger than if it was not spinning, so by this reasoning a spinning bullet should experience more drag than a stable, non rotating bullet.
But the direction of this increase in drag should be orthogonal to the translational motion, no? If I'm right, this drag would contribute to slowing the rotation, but not to the arc of the projectile.
