I was just suggesting that people write, "They gave me the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) when I applied for a job at the CIA." Or "I looked in the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Version 5) to see whether I agreed that Trump is a sociopath." I hope the broader discussion has been constructive for the group. On Tue, Jan 26, 2021 at 5:44 PM Steve Smith <sasm...@swcp.com <mailto:sasm...@swcp.com> > wrote: > Jon, > > On the whole I agree.

It is very hard for me to believe that the fairly small (by percentage) cohort of regular contributors is so wyckedly smart and has "the pulse" so well that the remainder (>90%) of the lurking subset is truly just an "audience" for our random bloviations. I even *sometimes* want to try to understand whether if I did a solid STFU, if that might actually leave room for 1 or more lurkers to pitch in? Probably not on the first round or two (what is the FriAM cycle... minutes, hours, days, variable?) but over time my withdrawal or absence might leave room for someone else? I think there is a term for this in model/sensitivity analysis, but it eludes me right now.... essentially *removing* an assumed dominate variable/signal to see how everything else correlates in it's absence? Maybe this bent thread might inspire a few lurkers to weigh in? I appreciate Jon's reference to a Pareto distribution frontier to describe the envelope to the "ragged edge" of insider/exclusive vs outsider/inclusive terminology. I personally enjoy what feels more to me like listening in on a semi-private conversation held pairwise or a small group where the jargon is specific enough to make me an outsider but the general tenor or subject draws me in. I understand that *some* might want every little subgroup in a cocktail party to "just stop talking" if A) they don't know what they are talking about, or B) they they think they know and don't want to be left out, but are in another conversation and/or don't have the reserved lexicon mastered, and want more explication.
