Most personally convincing reasons you don't believe.

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

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.
