It’s the politician’s syllogism -with the added benefit of the ‘something’ being effectively free (no new headcount), though all the more visible by virtue of it being an annoying find and replace exercise all the line engineers get to part

Since Silver Diamine Fluoride is a little newer, it helps to look at Silver Nitrate, which has the same mechanism save for the, you know, fluoride (which is a boon). Medical management of caries is anathema to assuming seven figures in debt

Ha, got me as well. I mean, literally: > Michelle ultimately served 3½ months in jail for her part in the other company’s stock option practice So this is just a lie?

The enforcement and form of securities laws is beyond me, but I think Ben’s point is that Michelle went to prison for a crime she didn’t know she was committing and had checked [citation needed] with PwC. I agree it’s not arbitrary, but it

Piggybacking on that comment - which I interpret to mean that fixed, common salaries are at odds with the unique value each employee brings - is your philosophy that salary should not be a reflection of individual contributions, but (indexe

I agree, but mainly because I don’t know how much more valuable targeted ads based on past actions are than current site/intent. Say, for example, an payday lender buys a banner on example.com/r/povertyfinance – could that no

You mean you suspect it’s like the underlying disease? Maybe you’ll have a serious and uncomfortable immune response, but since the vaccine can’t proliferate, it will be a relatively brief one at even seventy-two hours.

In yet another failure of messaging from public health authorities, individuals such as yourself are surprised by the intense but entirely normal immune response to an antigen your body was just trained to fight. There is a reasonable quest

Sort of - that’s from the contractor, and while largely consistent, it’s good to see both.

Excess deaths are measurably up from this pathology, and we can continue working on those problems too. Unfortunately, there’s little overlap between preventions or treatments for drug addiction and infectious disease.

I don’t think an author can ‘not even wrong’ intentionally - if it is intentional, then it would be something like a Gish gallop, which Sandifer describes another SSC essay as. I don’t necessarily agree, but I understand why she’d think so.

> Alexander's point is precisely that tolerance might be more complex then it appears. That is a patently obvious claim for which anecdotes appearing to support that conclusion - but implying another - are provided. Why do you think
348.
by phnofive 6y ago
I almost agree, but I thought being NEW excluded self-awareness, as that’s more of a Gish gallop (as mentioned in TFA). The problem with taking one of those on earnestly is as I mentioned in the neighbor.

She is critiquing his reasoning by asserting he isn’t reasoning at all, but making rhetorical arguments; I completely agree with this! As another poster pointed out, he has been caught being candid about that behavior. My critique, in turn,
