The distance between 0 and 1 is vast compared to the distance between 1 and 2. Feynman was a professor and also beloved for his ability to bridge across the academic to pragmatic divide that is the subject of this paper.
- almostgotcaught 2y agoWhat is the relevance of this point? No one has linked a Kardashian's take on anything? So who cares if the distance between 0 and 1 is larger than the distance between 1 and 2 - we are only discussing the distance between 1 and 2.
- erikerikson 2y agoThe original comment you responded to made no comparative claims. It simply offered another person's attempt to describe. Feynman is fairly famous but nonetheless an authoritative source relative to most of the population (probably more so than both of us, though I don't know you do have little basis beyond priors [sorry if you have greater credibility than Feynman, I didn't know]). Feynman is less authoritative on the subject than the authors of the article but still... Being well known doesn't remove the authority level that Feynman does have on the topic. I should, perhaps, have used: 0. Average person
