Already seen it. I wrote one not unlike that, back in the day before this newfangled World Wide Web thing, on the results of measuring Boltzman's Constant off a goddam PN junction diode. Dumbest goddam physics experiment I was ever forced to do, made dumber still by the fact that the diodes dated back to Schottky his own bad self, and the junction had clearly begun to degrade thus fucking the entire exercise in the head from the very beginning. "Experimental methods," my ass. Craig Levin and I hold the university record (so far as I know) for largest experimental error in a measurement performed in good faith. -- John S.
