Ted did a research presentation at a NARCON back in 2000 or 2001, or maybe 2002. All three were here in Texas, so I was able to attend, but I can't recall which year exactly. He was very matter-of-fact about testing and test data. I recall he stated that, when the data was not consistent, it was time to collect more data.

I recall thinking how profound that was to me. That is, I remembered many college engineering projects where I'd waited to the last danged minute to write the report only to realize I needed more data and was gonna have to use some clever verbiage to support my conclusion

Ted's presentation improved my professionalism. I realized, if I needed more data, I needed to ask for more time to take more data, and not try to draw conclusions based on schedule, but based on recognized trends in the data. He elevated my game - that was well worth the price of admission! Every time I see him, I make sure I engage him showing as much appreciation as I can! He's an awesome dude!
