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 →

Tim Leatherman 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 By the way, what were some of the other ideas that you jotted down?

A Actually, some of them turned out to be things that other people did, but I did not. One of them was that postage should have some kind of a barcode or something on it, some kind of a method by which if you want to send it somewhere, you would buy a decal that had the zip code on it that was readable somehow so that the post office could process the mail more easily. Another idea was to congregate service shops within one shopping center, one mall, and, and in particular, like, repair shops, so you, if you, and particularly small repair shops, so if you have a TV repair, appliance repair, watch repair, locksmith, congregate all those into one place. You said you've done some traveling around the world, and I'm sure you've been in places where they have these bazaars, and within the bazaars, there's sections where everyone, where the whole section of the bazaar is, everyone's selling cloth. Yeah. And what, and you think to yourself, why would they all be in the same place? Why wouldn't, why wouldn't they, you know, go, each be, uh, go in various places where only, where there's less competition.
