- Tomte 3y agoIt's still a valid remark. In Wigner's article there is arguably an "unreasonable" and surprising effect. In the blog post there is not.
- ayhanfuat 3y agoTrue. It's become one of those phrases that people use whether it fits or not.
- jtwaleson 3y agoAuthor here: you're absolutely right. The title is over the top and it's not explained well in the article. It was just a random Sunday thought that I wanted to get out on my blog ;) But to elaborate a bit: i3 is very minimalistic, doesn't get in the way, is super stable in operating and hasn't really changed in 15 years. That makes it unreasonably effective compared to other systems in my view.
- Tomte 3y agoWell, it's your blog, you don't need permission to be a bit over-the-top. I only wanted to back parent comment up.
