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 →

Safi Bahcall 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 Exactly. How do you winnow those ideas as well?

A I think you want to find the ones that challenge your belief system, because those are the ones Which are most dangerous to you, you and your business. So the reason you nurture loon shots is when there's some new crazy idea that appears that's going to kill one of your business lines or, or take away your customers or even open a completely new business line. Where would you rather find out about it? By reading about it in the press release from one of your large customers, who's going to move all their business away? Or would you rather find out about it from one of your People who presents you one morning with this crazy idea that you were sure was not true.
