It does seem to serve no good purpose when we are talking across each other. For example I clearly and immediately modified my original post to state there was a risk of error because I was using the wrong curve (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22645793 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22645793). And "I am a bloody genius [...] by plotting a bunch of points in a log scale" - I actually used the words 'admittedly trite' about what I did. Whatever. This gets us nowhere. Your profile says you have a background in physics and logic/automated reasoning. I'm just a general purpose back-end dev. We're facing something that may kill more people than WW2, let's concentrate on that. Can we work together to do something useful? Thoughts?
