sorry i forgot that people on the internet don't understand analogies
Maybe it would have been clearer if I would have said something more like "this has big 'guy with half meter arm circumference says it's a myth that you have to have big arms to be good at arm wrestling' energy." Who knows though. Maybe then I would have got schooled on Anand's arm circumference.
- necovek 3y agoI hear you on your analogies, but memory and intelligence are tightly coupled, which makes yours a bad one in this context. There is no need for a generalization ("people on the internet" have a hard time communicating precisely, right?). If you used your second one, I'd make it clear that I still disagree with the analogy: yes, someone great at something can be aware of limits others face in comparison. Humans do learn without direct experience too! You similarly continue with making a bad analogy about getting "schooled on ... arm circumference": other than side remarks that you quoted, I do not "school you on IQ" (which would be analogous), but rather on the "memory", which was the original article topic.
