But your comment is correct, and indeed people have been getting kind of annoyed by a lot of the recent articles along those lines clearly not vetted by domain experts, esp. the one about chronology which is more cringeworthy than a good episode of The Office. However, it *does* get people talking about things! rjf, in this particular case it wasn't really appropriate for computer science at all - presumably CS folks are aware that you shouldn't always trust software! But a lot of math people, and *definitely* people who are users, not producers, of stats or modeling software, seem woefully unaware of this issue. So it was appropriate as a 'opinion-ish' piece to make people aware of the issue. - kcrisman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
