OH GOD STOP IT
[quote name="Zsenitan"][quote name="The Happiness Engine"][quote name="Fussbett"]I can take apart a car, but I have no idea if it was built "correctly". Driving it around would tell me that, however.[/quote] Only if you define "correctly" so limited as to mean "moves from point A to B". Which has the "correct" handling, a Jeep or an Accura?[/quote] I'm so tired of this discussion! Painful, dull, awkward, even more of a waste of my time than any other kind of posting. It didn't deserve even as much attention as the Eegra guys have paid it, and now icycalm has wrested precious minutes of my peerless gem-like intellect away <i>for free</i>. I'm just angry about it now! That clown is clearly a crank! He will any minute burst out with his <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2009/04/the_return_of_the_compression.php">compression algorithm</a> or his <a href="http://home.iae.nl/users/benschop/sgrp-flt.htm">corrections of the Wiles proof of FLT</a> or his fucking <a href="http://www.timecube.com/">unified field theory</a>! The shit he is pulling with deconstructionism is not even a little bit different than these classic examples of scholarly crankwork: misuse of terms, insistence on his own definitions, railing against The Academy, unjustified trivialisation of his opponents, development of ideas incoherent where it is not oversimplified, dependence on limited group of tangentially related authorities, coercive and emotional appeals to his audience, etc. He's a crank! Let's stick with celebrating him as an honest to goodness gaming crank and stop trying to pull sense out of his mental car wreck. [/quote]
