      1/ Even after 18 years, people still wrongly believe in the "Y2K problem", such as in this thread below.https://twitter.com/thornae/status/979315944697810944 …

      Bruce @thornae
      I am thoroughly sick of people using Y2K as an example of groundless worries - Brexit, climate change, et al. If you're going to compare to Y2K for problems, you should be holding it up as gold standard to aspire to.

      Either way, it's not true that "nobody noticed any issue, therefore the problem was all hype" You and the original thread agree that people didn't notice the issue *because* of effort spent to fix (which you agree should have cost billions)

      So the right takeaway, regardless, is not "we could have ignored it and it would have been aok, evidence: the bug was all hype"

          Is that strawman you set up & knocked down worth even one tweet? Did you read https://twitter.com/erratarob/status/980299321345232896?s=21 … or just reply to /1 in storm?

          4/ The correct amount we should have spent fixing Y2K is there the cost of fixing the easiest bugs roughly equaled the damaged caused by not fixing the harder bugs.

          Yup. Same with global warming. Yes, it's obviously a problem that needs to be addressed. But on the other hand, it's overhyped. And anybody who claims its overhyped is strawmanned into saying "there's no problem".

          Unless the economic, human and natural costs of overhyping, considered over a sufficiently long period of time, are higher than the corresponding benefits, then overhyping is the correct thing to do

          I would never argue that untruthfulness is the right thing.

          Underhyping would be equally untrue, and you can't assume you have the exact answer precisely right - you don't even have an actual answer to begin with - so what do you do? Criticize everyone because everyone is wrong to some degree?

          Well, no. Science measures uncertainty, so anything within the uncertainty bounds is reasonable. It's the stuff outside of those bounds that isn't reasonable.
