      Carbon Mike Retweeted Health Nerd

      Here is a serious question for my Twitter readers: Clearly @GidMK believes @neil_ferguson's unverifiable, unreproducible "stochastic" guesswork (which was generated by buggy 13 year old software which no one is allowed to see). But why does he have to be such a sissy about it?https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1259014644737273856 …

      Lol what a mess of garbage. I was pointing out someone being hilariously wrong, not making a comment on the correctness or lack thereof of any specific model

      Which floating-point library did Mr. Ferguson use? What's the defect count in his code? (The average varies from 15 to 50 per KLOC, and his C file clocked in at 15 KLOC.) What measures were taken to account for hardware variations? Where is the original source code?

      Yes, you were pointing something out. You were also being a sissy about it. Man up and do some due diligence.

      Lol, what a total straw man. I never claimed anything you are implying that I did

      Replying to @GidMK @neil_ferguson

      Which of the series of questions I asked you constitutes a "straw man"? If we're being precise with the definitions of things, that is. And by the way, do we have a commit ID on that original C source file? Because last I checked, if you can't reproduce it, it isn't science.

      Literally every question. I merely commented on the incorrect archaic definition of stochastic that someone pulled out of a dictionary, but it is quite funny watching you get all worked up about something I never even implied

          A "straw man" is a refutation of an argument that was never made. Is a question, a refutation?

          You seem to be a bit hazy on the meanings of words at the moment, is what I'm trying to say.
