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.

A So, uh, in 2006, uh, I was, uh, working in finance, um, living in Boston. Um, I, uh, I went on a cycling trip, so I've been a cyclist my whole life, started riding the bike when I was eight, was a professional cyclist when I was young, and I went, uh, I went on a cycle trip, uh, in 2006 to Europe, and we were sitting around at a dinner table, and a bunch, bunch of people just sitting there, we were riding all these small goat path roads in the Alps, in a little town called Andermatt, Switzerland, and somebody at dinner said, well, you know, it'd be great if I could know all these roads without, like, I want to come back next year without you being here, and I was like, God, I don't think anything like that exists, so I started doing some research, I bought the domain MapMyRide, I, um, you know, really built this whole product document, had a couple of developers in Boulder start coding MapMyRide, and...
