I know next to nothing about P!=NP, but am quite familiar with the statistics literature. Glancing at this paper made me immediately skeptical. Pages 12-27 are reviews of very basic results in statistics. Maybe it sounds like important stuff to CS researchers unfamiliar with this research, but to me it sounds like a basic review of results. That violates Scott's Rule 8. It probably also violates Rule 10 as well, but I'm not familiar with what's considered powerful in CS.

- shadowfox 16y agoI was not really commenting on the paper or its contents. That is beyond me. Rather I was commenting on the fact that the blog post is not as neutral as some commentators believed it to be.
