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 →

John Coogan 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 Um, but getting there is, it wrecks the ships, and if TBPN has money, it's the last thing you guys want to do is to struggle to make 200 grand, or 500 grand off an event, because it's totally distracting, right? But if you get massive, and you keep your heads down, these, these things, uh, they're, you know, the best of anything makes a lot of money, doesn't it?

A Of course. That's always the nature of these things. That's why we, like, focus. That's why we, like, not doing events. Uh, I am, I am interested in your reaction to my, my take that, uh, like, the, the, the Dream Forces, the Meta Connects, the Google IOs, like, this has put pressure on the, on the, uh, cross-platform tech conference. Uh, you know, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't need to go to CES to announce the Meta Ray-Ban displays. He hosts his own conference. Uh, you know, Even Sony and Xbox, like, they can, they don't need to go to CES, even if they have a presence, it, it takes away from, like, the aura and importance of those events. Is that something that you, that resonates with you, or is that sort of overstated?
