seems this was resolved but to specify it's a black box b/c it has to be reverse engineered to understand it
do you consider figuring out a radio as reverse engineering? For me the process is about rebuilding it.

-
so figuring it out, yes, science. Rebuilding it, no.
-
hence why in my opinion it's called reverse engineering. Because goal is to (re) build original item.
-
in sci we don't build eg computers. That building bit is where design tech & engineering starts.
-
ok agreed on that one. just to me "rev X" is not necessarily "X" but if "rev eng" was "eng in reverse" then agreed
-
[160 char brevity!] specifically, agree that sci =/= eng. not sure if rev eng is in set of eng. but if it is, agreed sci =/=rev eng
-
a lot of/most eng esp materials science has been reverse engineering imho. Like when Europeans were figuring out porcelain.
-
sorry, forgot about the convo! In this sense would you consider modelling as reverse engineering?
-
no cos to me modelling is about understanding. A model is not a copy. A direct copy of a brain is another brain. I can create
