New It's the high-school chemestry lab "solution"
Get the answer from the back of the book (in this case, the "book is the New Testament", and work you way backwards, filling in various values for Z (the Universal Fudge Factor) as necessry to get bac to the original problem.

Note that this presupposes that the Practitioner alreadyhas the answer. Believe me, these yay-hoos already have The Answer\ufffd

My lab partner and I (Inst. not HS) came up with the exact At. Wt. for a sample - which was in fact, a Magnesium salt. We didn't employ our memory of data from the Periodic Chart, etc. - we just weighed stuff accurately as we could manage. Sometimes the erors Do cancel-out.

(I recall the incident because the instructor Didn't smirk. I called that, Class..)

But yeah, all science is predicated upon working-backwards from an expected guesstimate. None of us integrates very well; differentiation is sooo much easier. Prolly the same with spawners of new 'theories' to justify What I *Know* is Right cha cha cha. (Doomed species - by the inescapable warz from that approach,) but W.T.F.
