Also they did have radar signatures of the attack incoming but radar tech was new and they didn't trust it.

[–] ericisshort 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Please tell me you’re being facetious, because radar has been in use for more than 80 years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

80 years ago is the 1940's. But the report was ignored due to lack of training. The way I heard, it was due to radar being relatively new, untested, and thus untrusted.

I’m confused. When did this conversation divert to Pearl Harbor?

[–] bitwaba 3 points 1 year ago

I think they responded to the wrong person. There's a pearl harbor tangent happening above this.

I believe that radar should be read as radar system. That is to say it was a new radar system that had not been fully learned yet not that radar as a concept was new.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That would make the radar tech very old and likely you could not trust their work either.

[–] ericisshort 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well by that logic, we should be really suspicious of tech like the wheel or the plow.

[–] nrezcm 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Which is why I have never used a plow before and never plan to.

[–] ericisshort 5 points 1 year ago

Good. And I hope you don’t eat any food that contains ingredients that come from fields, or else you’re buying into big plow whether you like it or not.
