Quoi? That is the verbatim title of the post.
- jrockway 17y agoThat means you took the linkbait. Why reward articles like this with free views?
- raganwald 17y agoIf the article delivers on the hype, why not reward the author for having the walk to match the talk?
- jrockway 17y agoDoes this article deliver on the hype? What I got out of it was: "Some people are dumber than me." This is a well-known problem both inside and outside the programming world, and unfortunately killing the people dumber than you is not the solution to the problem.
- raganwald 17y agoI took it as "some people are ignorant of basic statistics," which isn't quite as daunting as "some people are dumber than me." The cure is motivation to learn, and one can take the view that the hyperbole of the title broadens the post's reach and simultaneously provides a little negative motivation. I didn't take the title quite that literally. I personally take the view that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but I suggest the article as a whole including the title provides a general good.
