That's only because I choose to be illustrative with that last sentence. Without me making parallel with that sloppy logic of mistranslation, you'd be just convoluted and shown wrong by the previous ones, and I might as well rest

I didn't notice you posing this problem. Frankly I don't understand the difference you announced you'd be trying to make. 1) Discussing a critique, 2) attributing critique to a work being criticized and its author without jus

You are sidestepping the question, engaging in practice of irrelevance you highlight. Is debating the mistranslat or a becoming reply? Moreover you said them making a case somehow casts shadow on the critic's analytical powers, where

But complaining is helping. That's the core of scientific method. What doesn't help is patching entrenched worldviews for the sake of it, designing experiments to detect aether while refusing to acknowledge critics and problems th

But think of the children . I've heard all these metrics tend to correlate with infant mortality rates, so they all must be good. Never mind the affluent US which should be the reference of wealthy, has these things decoupled with mor

So you advise to scope on the reviewer hypothetical beliefs and personality next time? That is bound to succeed and show my analytical prowess? Even in uncharitable (and possibly mistranslated by me being critiqued!) case her points are bas

If I were to make a mathematical argument sloppy enough to be open to hostile mistranslators and then on top of that address reviewer's psychology instead of holes she might tried to poke, text would get outright desk rejection on re

This matter being itself a cliche in these circles. Rationalist forums are full of denouncing uncharitable critics who intentionally misunderstand what is obviously innocuous and infallible if you would just understand (presumably by

burning them to death for heresy Do you have any examples of actual burning? Of someone who was going around enlightening and got burned for science. Only example I know, Giordano Bruno was as much a scientist as today's theologians

I mean the field's notions are being customized, but so far the language hasn't been shown to be all that insightful in numerous engineering fields probed. Algebraic topologists seem happy trying to be vaguely relevant though.

About signal processing AFAIK it's only this particular author, Michael Robinson https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WxsA8yEAAAAJ&hl=en He's also got short book Topologica Signal Processing. About all th

Yeah, I've been sporadically trying them out for many many years and never lasted a week, until last year. I use DDG exclusively since half a year now and rarely even feel compelled to use !g google redirect. Congrats @yegg and the tea

I think you are both gravely mistaken or may even externalize as the parent poster said, some trauma. Academia is hierarchical ("feudal"), is so everywhere, and this is by design. And it works. There are wholly different factors s

They do not appear in the real data, you have one g stronger than all others. This g has as much explanatory power as noise. Frobenius–Perron guarantees it would always appear whether there is one strong underlying influence on the data or

Why cherry-pick? Where is the Spanish? Is this a heritability study by someone who just outright denied any foreign languages being spoken in the USA? The natural experiment was conducted by Omniscient Statistician? This was published somew

there is no meaningful population of German, Polish, Italian, or Swedish speakers, fluent or otherwise, in the United State. I can't believe you wrote that. Have you been to Chicago? I encourage you to get out your bubble, while admi

This is something different. As I already said acquisition of first, second &c. language, pace of this has been found heritable. To have heritability at all you have to have variance. People having hands and legs: heritability not defin

by thraway180306 9y ago
Sorry, but language acquisition has been found heritable. I am aware of the definition. I fear it is you who doesn't have the epistemological clarity. It is not words that define but procedures with which you arrive at your results. An

What you call an assumption actually sneaks in at a slightly different place. When you design multiple tests that can only correlate positively or not at all, you get a matrix with nonnegative entries. Of course when you factor it you find

Heredity has no definition other than mathematical tools used to measure it. Do you say statistics has the power to exclude environment's influence just because you made up some definition on the label of the measured variable? Specifi

I find your confident view loaded. How can you say what heritability means ontologically, when the only way of ascertaining it is through mathematical statistics that doesn't care about your distinctions between genetic or cultural ori

Polish tax code and adjudication has been a mess for a very long time. The actual rates have not changed, interpretations do change constantly and you can't get a binding one. There is no such thing. You can officially request some adv

Offices are not an issue in Krakow, there is oversupply and the space is cheap. What I heard there is a lot of sour grapes and back-and-forth blame (still) going on about that Krakow failure. But what is clear for a bystander: the office st
