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 Are there forms of music that are easier or harder? So, I guess, probably the obvious example would be Bach. It's a very structured kind of point music. Is that, does it make it super hard or super easy versus pop?

A Uh, it sort of depends. Like, um, if you're familiar at all with, there was a machine learning, um, project, uh, I think it was done at sort of like a hackathon called Deep Jazz, where he, uh, machine learned, uh, Pat Metheny avant-garde jazz. That actually works quite well because, uh, no one has a preconceived idea of what it should actually sound like. So, um, in that case, that's a lot easier than something like Bach. Uh, at the other hand, um, if you were taking specifically Bach or something that's very classical, we have a lot of examples of that Bach wrote. Quite a lot of music. So, um, it, it's easier to get things out of it, but maybe harder to make something that's convincingly this is Bach, even though there are people doing that too.
