- drharby 9y agoI thoroughly disagree. I understood with greater clarity and conciseness. Numbers and models speak clear to me, so theres one data point
- mikeash 9y agoI agree that it’s probably not effective, just because most people aren’t that good with math, or don’t think of things in terms of math. But how is it condescending?
