Talk:Essay:Best New Conservative Words (view source)
Revision as of 03:42, June 30, 2013
, 03:42, June 30, 2013→Doubling: The ease of finding new conservative words in a pattern that doubles by century is significant, just as easily finding some gold nuggets in a stream would be highly significant.
:The ease of finding conservative words in a doubling pattern does prove something, just as easy discovery of gold in a stream would prove how valuable that stream is, and cause a gold rush. Surely no one denies the significance of correlations and probabilities.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:15, 29 June 2013 (EDT)

::I'm assuming that Mr. Schlafly is compiling the list for his own edification (which is certainly a noble and worthwhile endeavor) and is not trying to use it as statistical evidence (because it has zero statistical value for all the reasons I've mentioned previously).
