Most personally convincing reasons you don't believe.

Your reasoning for two dimensional thinking is irrelevant. It's still two dimensional.

Quote: Ultimately you don't need a specific citation, you just need to understand how neural networks work, particularly bidirectional neural networks.
And now you've slipped into one dimensional thinking. Otherwise why trivialize my request for a citation? Why demand that I simply accept your word, your biased take/understanding of what you are convinced that "i need."

Quote: Not just how they are structured but how they work in practice and the dynamics that emerge... and that takes more than just a cursory glance at the material. That book is all about simulating biological neural networks in software which lets you see these dynamics in action and understand them at a deeper level.
What the citation demands is accountability. Currently something you are operating without. When I provide a citation (when EVER requested) I don't do so because I believe the person asking is looking for complete knowledge or even a cursory glance. They are looking to make sure my bias has not altered known or knowable facts.

That is what i am looking for from you. The fact that you either don't know why a citation is important, or the fact that you are so desperately trying to down play it, IS the Very Reason I asked for one.
Quote:So I don't know what else I can say and given that, yes I would like to drop out of the conversation or the subject, whichever you prefer.
Your peers tend to drop out of a specific conversation when they are caught with their pants down. I am not one who typically drives a point home unless you feel the need to have it driven that far. Meaning if you drop an argument so do I.
