Way to totally miss the point.
- 23B1 3y agoHow so?
- lotsofpulp 3y agoNeither of your examples are inferring causation from correlation, they are just questions about how to define wet and blue.
- 23B1 3y agoYes, but they're obvious things that could be dissected ad nauseam in the course of academic – as opposed to pragmatic – discourse. Water is wet, sky is blue, obsessive social media use is bad. I understand this is HN and the Internet, and so niggling academic arguments are fun and all, but sometimes it's okay for the obvious to be uncontroversial.
