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 →

Robin Weisman no published score: no 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 Okay, let's shift gears for a moment and talk about all these ICOs or scams kinds of headlines. How would you sort of Separate that headline from what's actually happening from the policymakers perspective and what are they taking away from all that?

A So I have to say it's really often in my line of work, super frustrating to see the headlines that are splashed all over the place because they're really often, they're very misleading and they're focused on sort of the worst of the worst and they're designed to sell papers and they're designed to get clicks and they're designed to get people to read. Oftentimes if you drill down even into the actual body of the story, You realize, oh, okay, that was sort of a sensational headline. But the other thing that's really frustrating about some of the media coverage is that then policymakers read it, and then it becomes what they latch onto to respond. And so a lot of what we do is we go in and we try to make sure that particularly members of Congress who have oversight over all of these different agencies and are responsible for making the rules that then they'll have to implement, that Those policymakers understand and have the facts so that we are trying to limit the knee-jerk reactions to some of the sensational headlines.
