I can see how we can know that Hekatonhir, one of the most active members of the Jezikoslovlje section of forum.hr, hopelessly misunderstands science, because he says stuff like "Ma odjebi više s tim svojim p-vrijednostima, marš na Alternativu." ("Alternativa" being the subforum of forum.hr intended for discussing stuff like Flat-Earthism). Like I've said, I can see how somebody who reads a lot of tertiary sources such as etymological dictionaries, but little or no scientific papers, might end up thinking that way (as tertiary sources mostly don't talk about p-values and other things essential for modern scientific method). And I think people who think like Hekatonhir are a lost case.(July 25, 2023 at 2:58 pm)FlatAssembler Wrote: I think people in the Jezikoslovlje section on forum.hr are even less qualified to talk about this than an average person is.

You thought dragons were real because of birds.
You thought airplanes weren't real because of your 'understanding' of the science of flight. Yet you have the nerve to use as proof the name of some random forum member somewhere else. Lets go with random forum dude is the uneducated one compared to you. Fuck me runnin'...you really are a piece of work.

I think it is obvious who is really being more scientific: is it me or is it the proponents of the mainstream interpretation of the names of places in Croatia. Proponents of the mainstream interpretation of the names of places in Croatia claim that that k-r pattern in the Croatian river names is a coincidence without even attempting to calculate the p-value. I have made an experiment which suggests that the p-value is somewhere between 1/300 and 1/17. Even if my experiment is flawed, I am still being more scientific than the proponents of the mainstream interpretation of the Croatian names of places. |
