The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Adam Thierer no published score: only 2 usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Why would you make that argument? Like, what's the logic?

A So what, what technology innovators need to understand is that their job is going to be a lot easier if they don't have to deal with an agency with an F at the beginning of it. So whether it's the Food and Drug Administration, or the Federal Communications Commission, or the Food and, or the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, These are folks that already have a very restrictive approach to public policy governing new innovation. You do have to go and find someone and get their blessing before you can innovate in those spaces. Luckily, in most of the other spaces that internet innovators operate in, they don't have to worry about that. But of course, as Marc Andreessen has informed us, software's eating the world, and a lot of innovators are spreading out into all these new areas that are heavily regulated.
