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 →

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 How did, how did you figure this out?

A All right, so I'm an orthopedic surgeon, and we have a practice that's mostly first and second generation immigrants, and for years patients were like, oh, I just put cabbage leaf wraps on my elbow, or on my shoulder, or on my hips, and at first I was like, that's crazy, but then younger kids were telling me, oh, after I work out, I do cabbage leaf wraps on my muscles to relieve soreness, and so I did a little bit of research, Looked into it. Turns out it's real. There's actual data that shows that cabbage leaf wraps are more effective than usual care for arthritis and for, even for, like, breast engorgement, any sort of inflammatory condition. And so we said, okay, it's impractical to put cabbage leaf wraps on all day. How do we put it into something more convenient?
