I don't understand. Look, if somebody says "I think your experiment is flawed because the collision entropy of the nouns in the Croatian language is significantly lower than the collision entropy of all the words in the Aspell dictionary.", isn't the burden of proof on him, rather than on me?
But that's not what neuralbeans told you. You quoted him as saying:
Quote:"Maybe the collision entropy of the nouns in the Croatian language is a lot lower than the collision entropy of all the words in the Aspell word-list for the Croatian language. Have you checked that? Toponyms are nouns, and you should be comparing them to other nouns, and not to all the words in the Aspell word-list.".
He's offering a suggestion for something you should look into, not making a positive claim. The burden of proof is always and forever on the person making a positive claim (you) and not on the person pointing out an issue with your methodology (neuralbeans).
