- amelius 5y agoYou can very well reason about licenses in a logical (mathematical) manner, so it is a bit strange to speak in terms of "empirical" or "anecdotal".
- pera 5y agoMaybe you can but the tweet is just Carmack expressing his opinion.
- pitkali 5y agoAren't anecdotes pieces of empirical evidence?
- nextlevelwizard 5y agoCalling anything and everything “just anecdotes” is HN’s favorite way of dismissing your arguments.
