Extension to Murphy's Law

[Phi for All]

.

 

I never intended to sound pedantic. My apologies are due.I am just curious about science.

 

There's always some substance in your thread starters, otherwise they wouldn't last a page. What gets frustrating is your less than rigorous methodology for developing your ideas. You make far too many assumptions that aren't supported, which can lead you to some confusing conclusions. Couple that with misusing terminology and we end up with pages and pages of people asking you to explain your idea better.

 

What you're doing isn't working towards a productive discussion system. Science fora thrive on substance, evidence, rigor, and clarity. Calls for clarity are completely normal from people you're talking to, and they're entitled to as many as they need. As the producer of the idea, it's incumbent upon YOU to make sure what you're claiming, what you want to talk about, the reason you started the thread in the first place, is as precise and understandable as you can make it. If you get a lot of people asking you what you're talking about, perhaps you need to put some more time into your opening posts, to ensure a more productive talk.

 

If the above quoted is an apology, then I accept it. Just remember, this isn't about you, it's about a dodgy process you're using. EVERYONE wants to help you get it fixed, since nobody really likes having to ask "What are you talking about?"

I willl try to improve the quality of my posts without digressing from the proposition.
