Names of places in Croatia

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

A few days ago, the linguist Dubravka Ivšić asked me via e-mail to send her a copy of my paper published in Valpovački Godišnjak. So I did that. I wonder what she is planning to do with it. Publish a paper attempting to refute my theories? We will see.

I gave a copy of that paper to my communicology professor Jerko Glavaš (otherwise a PhD economist). I told him about it after a class and he said he was interested. I wonder what he will think about it. He does not agree with my right-wing ideas about economics.

My computer architecture professor Ivan Aleksi told me that the arguments presented in that paper seem compelling to him. Though, he is arguably not an expert in the field. His PhD was about computers in submarines, and he, as far as I am aware of, hasn't published any papers about informatics or linguistics.

(Bold mine)

I find it very interesting that someone with no training or credentials in linguistics finds your arguments ‘compelling’. Not as interesting as your obsessive need to be validated by strangers, but interesting just the same.

I asked him "Do you find my arguments compelling?" and he responded "It looks good to me.".

That’s exactly what I say to my mechanic everytime he’s done with work.

How would he know? It's like presenting a paper on the sex lives of jellyfish to someone who's spent a career studying the effects of gamma rays on cheesecake.

Well, he certainly knows something about informatics and statistics.

What do you think, if p-values are what makes a science a hard science, is my paper about Croatian names of places which has a p-value (at least the math showing that the p-value is somewhere between 1/300 and 1/17) then harder science than most of historical phonology is? In historical phonology, there are usually no p-values. Is my paper then harder science than, for example, the Havlik's Law is? As Havlik presumably did not calculate the p-values. I think that's an absurd suggestion. I am way more certain that the Havlik's Law is correct than that my etymology with a p-value is correct.

I don’t think about it.

You don't think about hard and soft sciences? About the philosophy of science?

[arewethereyet]

I don’t think about it.

If you would concentrate on your course of study, you might actually finish school.  Focus dude.

I think about those a fair bit, but that wasn’t what you asked.
