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 →

Nelson Gonzalez 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 Uh, but when did you start getting into, into computer games and how, like, did your, like, did your friends all have computers at, at that point?

A Uh, there was one of our friends, Joe Pontillo, and he was the one, the first one that had a, a three 86, I believe. And this was probably, gosh, 1990. That's when we were exposed to the PC, uh, for gaming, because we saw a couple video games loaded up for the first time. At that point, I made friends with a gentleman. Uh, an Iranian gentleman that had, um, one of those small mom-and-pop operations where they built PCs, and I started hanging out there, and I started learning more and more, so I had him build a PC, and as, as, I told him, well, listen, you're gonna build this PC, but I wanna, I wanna see how you build it, if you don't mind. He goes, no, absolutely.
