What a douche. As if there's something glorious about being one of these 'tards who can't distinguish the difference between the way computers work and the way reality works. People, when speaking and writing, do not usually intend to be excruciatingly specific. Learn2deal.


It looks very much like I didn't do a very good job of communicating my thoughts. I was actually trying to write an essay about the importance of the marginal.

Can you be a little more literal and tell me what part of the post seems to say something about distinguishing the difference between computers and reality?

Also, I thought I was hand waving the "99" thing and saying it isn't important how accurate the number is. Should I be more emphatic?
