More data is not necessarily more possibility for deviation

2017-05-09 05:36:54 UTC  

But it is

2017-05-09 05:36:58 UTC  

In an assumption

2017-05-09 05:37:02 UTC  

That's simply fact

2017-05-09 05:37:04 UTC  

Not at all

2017-05-09 05:37:20 UTC  

Maybe you get lucky and what you study has a narrow spread

2017-05-09 05:37:36 UTC  

That's not about possibility

2017-05-09 05:37:39 UTC  

you're giving a specific example

2017-05-09 05:37:43 UTC  

More 'resolution' in a wide field

2017-05-09 05:37:50 UTC  

Doesnt help you

2017-05-09 05:37:59 UTC  

When you have no framework for the field

2017-05-09 05:38:07 UTC  

The framework comes first

2017-05-09 05:38:14 UTC  

That's very generalized

2017-05-09 05:38:18 UTC  

my point still stands though

2017-05-09 05:38:23 UTC  

Its a general discussion no

2017-05-09 05:38:48 UTC  

The more data you have, the more possibility for variation, compared to less data.

2017-05-09 05:39:14 UTC  

that's a very basic concept

2017-05-09 05:39:25 UTC  

Huh?

2017-05-09 05:39:43 UTC  

I thought you said more deviation from an imagined pattern

2017-05-09 05:39:47 UTC  

Not more variation

2017-05-09 05:39:59 UTC  

More variation helps my argument surely

2017-05-09 05:40:12 UTC  

If I flip a coin one time, I will likely never have the variation that I will find if I flip it 10 times.

2017-05-09 05:40:47 UTC  

But if you toss it 100,000 times

2017-05-09 05:40:57 UTC  

You wont be better off if you do it 10 mil

2017-05-09 05:41:08 UTC  

"Actually it would give you less ability to construct viable statisticial models because it allots for more variation"

2017-05-09 05:41:14 UTC  

is what I said

2017-05-09 05:41:33 UTC  

No?

2017-05-09 05:41:43 UTC  

No?

2017-05-09 05:41:47 UTC  

You deny me saying that?

2017-05-09 05:41:52 UTC  

I literally copy and pasted

2017-05-09 05:41:56 UTC  

I deny it being correct

2017-05-09 05:42:26 UTC  

If you toss a coin 100,000 times you're going to have more accuracy in your conclusion than if you do it 10 times under the same conditions

2017-05-09 05:42:27 UTC  

More variation equals more best fit models

2017-05-09 05:42:29 UTC  

Not less

2017-05-09 05:42:44 UTC  

you could flip 7 heads and 3 tails by chance

2017-05-09 05:42:48 UTC  

No. You wont simply. That is in principle incorrect.

2017-05-09 05:42:59 UTC  

with 100,000 flips you won't get 70 percent heads

2017-05-09 05:43:03 UTC  

And gets to the heart of my discussion

2017-05-09 05:43:11 UTC  

with 10 it's still significantly possible

2017-05-09 05:43:12 UTC  

Yeah. You need enough.

2017-05-09 05:43:26 UTC  

More is not better
