It is not my fault that the rules that govern research and interaction between researchers and tests subjects occurred because of WW2 and that Godwin's law exists. I mentioned that as a historic fact. So nobody can talk about how this started because it is literally Godwin's law? Great idea.
- philwelch 8y agoI'm not saying it's your fault; I'm saying that AB testing pizza advertisements for a fictitious pizza brand on YouTube is so far away from the risk of committing war crimes that it's a big stretch to invoke the Nuremberg Code as a criticism of it.
- lalos 8y agoThe code is more about a simple set of rules for research involving human test subjects. That is the baseline. It started because of that and got adopted by the scientific community as the most basic rules. I'm not implying anything about war crimes because I would've still referenced if they were created randomly by any other random event.
