    Without evaluating the data or methodology, I would say that the chance you gave it was not a fair one. Especially since you decided to label it “moronic.” That’s quite a claim.

        “100% moronic” is an even bolder claim for someone who has not evaluated any of the claims in the paper.

        One might even say that calling scientific claims “100%” false is a not especially scientific approach.

          If the conclusion is moronic, there’s a pretty good chance the thinking behind it is too.
          They did get the thing about thinking about one thing at a time right though. But that doesn’t change the error of the conclusion.

            Again, I would say using the “100%” in science when evaluating something is not a very good term to use. I think you know that.

                  Oh boy.

                  Base 2 gives the unit of bits

                  Which is exactly what bit means.

                  base 10 gives units of “dits”

                  Which is not bits, but the equivalent 1 digit at base 10.

                  This just shows the normal interpretation of bits.

                  If it’s used as units of information you need to specify it as bits of information. Which is NOT A FREAKING QUANTIZED unit!

                  And is just showing the complete uselessness of this piece of crap paper.

                    I’m interested in what you mean. Could you ELI5 why bits of information can’t be used here?
