Keep it simple!
Metrology is a complex subject, however applying a lean mindset to the whole subject gives us this:
Condition | Forecast |
Stone is wet | Rain |
Stone is dry | Not raining |
Shadow on ground | Sunny |
White on top | Snowing |
Can’t see stone | Foggy |
Swinging stone | Windy |
Stone jumping up and down | Earthquake |
Stone gone | Tornado |
It’s rather like the urban legend:
During the space race back in the 1960’s, NASA was faced with a major problem. The astronaut needed a pen that would write in the vacuum of space. NASA went to work. At a cost of $1.5 million they developed the “Astronaut Pen”. Some of you may remember. It enjoyed minor success on the commercial market.
The Russians were faced with the same dilemma.
They used a pencil.
