No... you are arguing. You are trying to convince me that I am somehow incompetent of a skill I use everyday.

I see, I wounded your ego, by knowing more about the subject than you do. This is how I will remember you, David.

Why are you arguing with me?

I am not, David. I was trying to have a conversation, despite you trying to wave away everything I was saying as " arguments of semantics".

Jeremy,

At its essence, statistics is a listing of data. As it progresses, it relies on formulae to draw conclusions and make assessments.

Jeremy,

Scientific methodologies require that all aspects of the procedure (such as an experiment) are to be listed. Otherwise, the results cannot be duplicated, therefore unverifiable. It is critical when statisticians are looking into predictability models.

It is a bit more involved than that ...

jeremyboycool

Jeremy,

Moreover, it is an understanding of scientific methodology. Knowing where the polls were drawn, sampling size, age, sex and ethnicity. It is assumed that they are responsible taken, however the results are being sold to specific new sources to play to their given audience.
At this point, I ...

Hello, Jeremy.

I came by to visit.

Frankly, SM sources have become the ruination of America. It cannot all be about opinion, there must be an acceptance of fact

Social Media is cancer. I use to think the Internet was this great thing, but lately, I have been wondering if we would just be ...

jeremyboycool

I am not certain about the polls myself. One would have thought they would have a better understanding and improved metrics.
One might surmise that some shenanigans are afoot, but without actually proof I wouldn't purport as such.

Who would think that dishonesty exists in politics.

This is why ...

The only thing about the election that bothered me was the Democrats legally buying votes.

Down here in Hillsborough County alone, a Democratic group paid $1.5 million dollars in fines for felons so they could vote. Just 1 county... They certainly were not white collar felons...
Fines of convicted ...

I don't find it likely he'll concede, or if he does it will only be some phony half step instead, he'll likely claim he was cheated until the day he dies.

I am not sure Trump supporters fully grasp how disliked their president is, and I think perhaps many views negative rhetoric about Trump as just your atypical condemnation from the opposition. However, Trump was impeached, he lost the popular vote twice now, never received a majority approval rating ...

jeremyboycool

As long as we keep a bicameral Congress, I'm happy with things. The real death knell for the US would be a single-party government all the way down.

We have had that more than once in US history, so not really much of a "death knell". I think we need less focus on party politics and focus more on ...

jeremyboycool

It is not really a loss for the Republicans, as they are doing well in the Senate and the House. So, this really seems more like a push back on Trump than the Republican party itself.

"projected winner"

Yep, that means they looked at the math, and considering the number of votes tallied and the outstanding votes yet to be counted, it is just simply not feasible for Trump to win PA, and without PA, he loses.

I understand, that a lot of people had a lot of love for Trump, but ...

jeremyboycool

Keep watching.. Trump's projected path to victory includes litigation in PA, there are multiple lawsuits filed.

I have been watching closely, extremely close for the past four years. This is just Trump and his goons doing the same BS song and dance they have done over and over. Nothing ...

jeremyboycool

Biden is the projected winner of PA, and without PA Trump has no path to victory.

jeremyboycool

There is certainly a lack of intelligence currently in our White House, as baby Trump throws a temper tantrum and attacks American Democracy with blatant lies.

With a Biden win the dem party falls apart fully in 4 years and team red comes back in. As for the pandemic, its sad wearing a mask became political, but its also sad how many people put money above everything else. We don't need people locked in their homes, we need them to be smart, and thats ...

jeremyboycool

Trump still has a chance, but at this time it is looking like a Biden win. If Biden wins, it will be an interesting next few months and of course, there will be salty tears, but with Trump out of the office maybe we can start to heal this division between the Left and Right. That is of course if ...

Philip wrote:Absolutely.. Which doesn't contradict the statement that he is popular.

I never said it did. His popularity is the reason the Reps clung so tightly to someone so clearly unqualified to be president.

jeremyboycool

Philip wrote:True. At the same time he has a lot of support, he is popular. In this election, Trump has more votes so far (67,233,126) than Obama during his second term re-election in 2012 (65,915,795).

Could that have something to do with the record turnout in this election?

jeremyboycool

Just the mere fact that most polls were so off 4 years ago made me predict they would get it wrong this time, they didn't do much better and were skewed to the same side. I realize there are many variables to the equation and it is not easy, but we seem to be putting too much emphasis on polling ...

I had my fill of drugs in my early 20's and I lost the taste for them a long time ago. In other words, I grew up and would take a delicious stew over any such drugs any day of the week.

I'm surprised how many people are happy with trump and with how he is handling the pandemic. Looks like Biden will win a close one. Senate race is more interesting, along with how close Texas was.

The fact that so many people vote for Trump ...

jeremyboycool

It is a bit surprising, as polling is supposed to be based on statistics and science, not bias.

It has much less to do with bias in the polls and more to do with the difficulty of trying to mathematize human behavior on such a large and diverse scale. I promise the people running for election ...

I think you could teach math in an entirely different fashion. I mean the traditional approach to math in many ways teaches it backwards, by teaching the students how to do it and not the whys behind it. However, you could start off with things like measurement scales and logical statements then ...

jeremyboycool

2+2 does not always equal four; only in two for the four major measurements scales is that true. I mean if you really want to teach a "high level understanding first" then perhaps you should start with type of measurement scales before moving on to 2+2 = 4. Kids could prob. understand the nominal ...

Philip, not even the scientists fully understand how our natural immunity systems stands up to Covid-19 yet. Much of that aspect is still unknown, and the studies done so far have a lot of gaps. But cases are still rolling in and the death count is still growing, so clearly, we are not to the point ...

jeremyboycool

This may only be a short-term issue, for the couple of weeks they are sick. After that they would eventually develop some type of immunity and not spread it anymore.

Studies have shown that antibodies in the blood may drop off sharply and shortly after the convalesce phase, so it may not be wise ...

jeremyboycool

Thanks guys.

If you decide you don't need to engage in proper social distancing because you believe yourself to "healthy" then you also decided that you are OK with spreading Covid-19 and contributing to the death rate of those you deem as "unhealthy". Even if someone is in a low risk category for Covid-19 that ...

jeremyboycool

There is no such thing as a "magic bullet" when it comes to something like this, but proper application of social distancing would have saved a lot of lives here and the poor leadership coming out of the Whitehouse certainly didn't help with that fact. And I don't see a good reason to pretend ...

Almost every summer in Montana is a smokescreen and now is not a good time for it, as you don't know if people coughing have covid or if it's just irritation due to the smoky air.

jeremyboycool

It was the prudent thing to do long before the death toll passed 200k. We should have been wearing masks from the start, but Americans didn't take it seriously enough. Too many people wanted to pretend that this was just going to magically vanish.
