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 →

Pat Gelsinger no published score: only 1 usable exchange 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 Well, I mean, what would you have done? You probably would have made chips for iPhone, which Intel passed on. Yeah.

A Yeah. You know, but you know, it hadn't built a new factory in a decade when I got there. It's like, you know, how can you not be building? How could you not buy EUV machines? You know, there's just all of these things. You know, that you would only do as a technologist because the economics behind them by themselves were not good. So, you know, it was getting back to the core of technology. To me, that was, you know, the fundamental thing, you know, you make good decisions, you make bad decisions as leaders. Every business does that, uh, as they go along. But, uh, you know, fundamentally this is a technology business and you need technologists running technology Uh, that, uh, then hires technologists that are sitting at the staff, but then hire the best technologists, you know, you know.

AI assessment note: “How could you not buy EUV machines?”
