What does this mean? What do you apply to populace at large? Do you mean a populace doesn’t model the exponential change right?
- margalabargala 1y agoYep that's what I meant! Context clues did you well here.
- geraneum 1y ago“A populace modeling exponential change”. Yeah, that’s just word salad.
- margalabargala 1y agoWe can agree to disagree. After all, even you were able to figure out what I meant :-)
- geraneum 1y agodisagree on what? You have not put forward a coherent statement. I had to fix your sentence. ;)
- margalabargala 1y agoI understand that complex sentences can sometimes be difficult to parse for median Americans or non-native speakers, but we disagree on whether what I said was word salad prior to you rewording it by explicitly enumerating the implied indirect object. As you demonstrated, context clues were ample to determine meaning.
- geraneum 1y agoSince I can’t reply under you answer for some reason I put it here. We can have a constructive discussion instead. My problem was not actually parsing what you said. I’m questioning the assumption if populace collectively modeling exponential change is really meaningful. You can, for example, describe how does it look like when populace can model change exponentially. Is there any relevant literature on this subject that I can look into? Does this phenomenon have a name?
