And then I claim that you are indulging in a "silly" refutation of things that I have not said and you are conflating concepts of necessity and sufficiency. I guess we all have our trigger happy moments.
Also keep in mind that optimal decision making requires that prior probabilities be taken into account together with the costs of false posotives, cost of false negatives and the cost of acquiring evidence. Evidence does change posterior beliefs but but Bayes' rule essentially dictates that stronger claims (i.e. low prior) require stronger evidence.

- srean 15y agoThis is getting beyond silly, and I dislike long threads, but if you insist this is how: I dont hate an IDE I advocate it. Circumstances matter. I do not assume, I verify and learn from past experience. You may find this helpful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_probability http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_probability I have no problems about users preferring one tool over another. I re-iterate , "preference" is different from necessity. I am not sure why I am re-repeating myself. Apparently it does not make a difference and dont expect that it would even now. Perhaps an integrated reading/comprehension environment is called for.
- georgieporgie 15y agoPeople who advocate IDEs don't define them as crutches, nor do they judge a developer for his preferred environment. You can add all the disclaimers you want, but you made your position clear. Stop trying to be condescending and own up to your words.
