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

2017-05-09 05:43:30 UTC  

My whole argument

2017-05-09 05:43:55 UTC  

You believe it's impossible to get 7 heads in a coin toss of 10 times?

2017-05-09 05:44:04 UTC  

I think most people would disagree

2017-05-09 05:44:10 UTC  

even if its not likely

2017-05-09 05:44:17 UTC  

it's still quite possible

2017-05-09 05:44:42 UTC  

Again. I said enough. Is 10 flips enough in principle to establish a certain premise about coinflips? No.

2017-05-09 05:44:46 UTC  

But 100k is

2017-05-09 05:44:51 UTC  

And more wont help

2017-05-09 05:45:01 UTC  

100k is more than 10

2017-05-09 05:45:06 UTC  

100k helped compared to 10

2017-05-09 05:45:11 UTC  

hence proving my point

2017-05-09 05:45:18 UTC  

Come on man

2017-05-09 05:45:22 UTC  

What?

2017-05-09 05:45:25 UTC  

This is really basic stuff

2017-05-09 05:45:25 UTC  

My point is what?

2017-05-09 05:45:30 UTC  

I'm not trying to knock you
