>two years into my PhD
>realise that the brilliant new method my advisor came up with and wanted me to flesh out and implement as the cornerstone of my PhD and his big research project is utter gobshite based on his fundamental misunderstanding of existing methods
>it's a step backwards and not even novel - the "new" approach he came up with already existed and worked with shittier data from older instruments, but with newer data you can use better, modern methods
>his method basically just downgrades this new, better data to only give results as "good" as the old, shitty data
I want off this ride
