> Wolfram has an.. issue in that he focuses on qualitative results (he runs simulations, eyeball it and tell something about it), but, I'm pretty excited by this development. That's a good way of describing his weakness! His excitement about some experiment is directly proportional to: 1) the interestingness of some unproven result, 2) that he imagines is proven based on his personal inductive overgeneralization, 3) of a perceived qualitative result, 4) from an actual quantitative experiment, 5) that he post-selected for said interestingness, 6) and that he claims to have discovered first. He has good ideas, but it seems to always be wrapped up in huge amounts of meta hyperbole.
