Hi fellow folders,
I searched the forum and other sources without finding a satisfactory answer on this delicate subject. How stable should a machine be to fold without introducing error into the project. Many seem to hold the opinion that if it completes a run then all is good no foul. However the integrity of the science comes before the PPD--or at least it does with myself. I personally fold on a machine that absolutely will not pass a prime95 torture test past 8 hrs, but has never, ever failed to complete a wu due to machine error.
So how stable must stable be to fold without risk. What is your opinion and why?
