Or new words unrelated to vernacular? Like "This is a cat-3 risk". When repurposing words in common usage they're always going to be fighting against intuition

Or new words unrelated to vernacular? Like "This is a cat-3 risk". When repurposing words in common usage they're always going to be fighting against intuition and triggering confusion because of it.
- fc417fc802 1y agoI was thinking this while reading it as well. Why go to all this trouble when we know in advance there will still be issues? Standardize on not using casual wording for quantified risks and instead provide the actual numbers. Something like "40 (out of 100) error 10 (plus or minus)". No more ambiguity. My offhand example even abbreviates nicely as scientific notation ie 40e10. I'm sure someone who actually spent some time on this could come up with something better.
