GP did not say anything about x > y. The post merely pointed out that some people like to link everything to social influence.
- ZeroGravitas 7y agoI dunno, they didn't explicitly say anything about it, but it seems about the same as someone getting really angry that someone thinks pi = 3 in a society that has for centuries legally enforced, on pain of death, that pi = 10. Yes, pi is not 3 but are people really unaware of the social signals they give off by being so outraged at the mistake given the context? To extend this analogy far beyond what is wise, I'm not really sure there are that many people who think that pi is 3, probably mostly 3.1 or 3.2, which makes fixation on extreme outliers who might believe it's 3 extra odd.
