- vkazanov 4y agoYup. Never read a non-CS paper in my life. This is why I used this word - extrapolation. I am pointing out certain shady incentives in our field that might apply in another scientific field as well.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoyeah, I was just asking why you thought it was appropriate to extrapolate (if you had any reason to believe that the shady incentives you mention, translate to a different field, versus them being completely different in this regard)
