Number one, you're arguing semantics. Number 2, you're arguing about something that has nothing whatsoever to do with Ramius's level of competence (or lack thereof).

Someone is getting pissy and talking about #1 and #2

 

Is this a guilty conscious trying to tell us that you were the one who made dookie in the urinal?

1) A die having a "true value" of 3.5 isn't a semantic argument. :D

2) Yeah, whatever. Where are your research publications?

If you're implying Ramius actually has his very own research publications, I'm becoming a Luddite.

Is your "All I wanted was a Pepsi" line from Suicidal Tendencies "Institutionalized"?

 

Haven't heard that song in about ten years.

Wow! You found a group of people you can leach off of. Color me impressed.

Yeah, because you know, people that are publishing research generally have no problem with other people not doing any work and taking credit for it.

Thats from my undergrad research. And i didnt, you know, write an undergrad thesis based on that research or anything.

 

I actually wrote roughly 1/3 of that paper. there 3 of us undergrads in the lab all working on different parts of the project, and all of us wrote stuff for the paper, with our boss having the final input, and thus 1st authorship.

I hope for the sake of the paper that the three of you (or at least you) provided the work, while your boss did all the real thinking. Because if you were in charge of the thinking, the paper would be worthless.

I wrote that if Ramius was in charge of the thinking (which he isn't) the paper would be worthless. I'm basing this on the assumption that good research requires good thinking, and the observation that Ramius is generally incapable of rigorous thought.

Shhh. Don't give him hints. Let him figure it out on his own.

 

It's a lot funnier that way. :D

I'll grant you your first "you know this because . . . ?" It's conceivable there's some field of research in which good work doesn't require good thinking. Maybe Ramius has manged to stumble across such a field.

 

As for your second question, I've seen Ramius in action long enough to get an idea of his capabilities and limitations. Unless he's a far different man in the real world than he is on these discussion boards, he isn't fit for serious intellectual work.

But that doesn't actually answer the question? How do you know "good research" requires "good thinking"?

Really? :D And I ask again, where are your publications?
