My thoughts exactly. I won't put any credence in this information until I see a graph comparing the relative frequency of "nazi" as discussions grow with "Justin Bieber", "anosmia", and "Kevin Bacon".

- mikeash 10y agoThat's an obvious and boring conclusion, though. It's barely beyond saying that if you roll dice, sequences with more rolls tend to have more sixes.
- kazinator 10y agoYes; unfortunately, Godwin did not commit to any numbers, like "the thread length required for a 79% probability is 500 responses".
