It may as was well be, despite an intention to be dismissive and
derogatory. You could call it "gut feeling", "spider senses",
"hunch" or any other nebulous terms used to explain how humans do
what computers can not do. Computers still just calculate, they
still can't think.Humans can take a variety of stimuli, past experiences, knowledge, factual information and come up with not only a judgement but and evaluation and plan of action. Call it "feelz" i don't care but it IS what people do and it IS a lot of what one side of this debate is using. Talking smack to that isn't getting anywhere. Falling back on numbers as if they were Scripture doesn't work either.
A person, like myself, who doesn't play in service to the gods of STATS really does not care about the stat argument. You don't have to get over that, it's just how it is, and really we don't care anyway.
Numbers guys, hate to break it to you but in any decision making organization, you are ADVISORS not DECIDERS of future actions. Especially when you build that house of conclusions on data that is shaky. Feelz guys, number do matter, you can't totally ignore them, but you have every right to question their validity. Statistics is not a science. It is a method of collecting data. Period. Either way, in the end, prognosticators evaluate all and make decisions. It's just the way it goes.
DeviouslyCursed: Yeah, you just summed up why humans get so much screwed up in
their heads. They try to use these "spider sense" things and get it
wrong. It's why people have lucky socks, dude. You can act as
enlightened and holier than thou all you want. Whether you like it
or not, statistics and numbers are real, they work, and they are
far more reliable than your impressions. They are the reason you
have a computer and are posting on the internet. The scientific
method absolutely destroyed your position, and the positions of
people like you. It's why technology took off. People no longer had
to waste their time debating and trying to 'convince' others of
what was real. You have an idea? Present your data. If you can't;
go away. Meanwhile the fools with "hunches" were wondering why
the rest of the scientific community moved on without
them.
