The Myth of the Tamp and Tamper?
"How important is tamping?" I see there are pictures of pucks with no tamp and tamp--missed this earlier. In re-reading posts there, the general consensus seems fairly summarized below. When I saw SCG videos and Gail consistently doing a 'lazy tamp', I thought she was incompetent. No, she was experi...

They have no data at PuqPress. I sure can see how this might be great for a commercial environment because it seems efficient and consistent

I agree, this thread is great. Links to other hard-ish data on tamp and tampers would be totally useful. Let the data free

The Myth of the Tamp and Tamper?
There are believers who do not believe data. The placebo is one of the most effective treatments in all medicine, as savvy physicians have long known. So long as they do no harm, they are good. Placebo: late 18th century: from Latin, literally 'I shall please,' from placere 'to please.' The good news

The Myth of the Tamp and Tamper?
This thread has been great. The consensus here, and also based on more recent posts elsewhere, seems that tamp force is not a significant factor, in the face of different methods to level (relatively straightforward) and then distribute (not so straightforward) the dose.

The Myth of the Tamp and Tamper?
In the future I'll post some peer-reviewed literature on the power of subjective bias based on published clinical trials of placebos, as well as the power of instilling bias from a 'moderator' to 'subjects' in 'psychological' experiments.

The Myth of the Tamp and Tamper?
