quantity != quality, being smarter isn't about how many smart things you say, but about how smart each of them are.

- rw 17y agoThen there's the problem of the person who only says 1 thing, but it is brilliant. How about quality*quantity?
- JacobAldridge 17y agoThat formula may still have a signals v noise issue since it rewards each equally. How about quantity^quality, which would still factoring in quantity, but exponentially reward quality?
- shalmanese 17y agoquality*quantity would support my claim. Personally, I think something like the h-index (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirsch_number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirsch_number) would be most appropriate. A person is n smart if he's said at least n things of n units of smartness :).
