Could we think philosophically about protocols? Is standardization always a good thing? Is the scientific method, a protocol? Would you rather trust the person, or the process? Why did your bus arrive on time (or didn’t)? What can guarantee that we can all agree to disagree? What if I were to put 0.02mg more? If we’re all on the same page, what’s on the page? Do you ever conduct the same procedure twice? What processes are you within, right now?! Is there such a thing as a global standard? Is there a protocol for making protocols? What if me and you, were to do the same exact thing? How do I know that you know I did the same thing as you? Record? Recipe? Algorithm? Standard? Are you sure “it just works?” Could one care about the “boring things?” Non-standard Non-operating Non-procedures What kinds of agreements can stop a war?
