I missed this one at the time; yes, I was thinking social and economic success too. Now I'm thinking fried breakfast.

Manga stats are awesome, thanks! Unfortunately, my problem in this case is that the stats wonks can't agree how to analyse things.

But Shuttleworth is the leader of a _community_. I don't think it's a stretch to see his language as divisive.

Each time I think I understand the state of disagreement re stats in machine learning, I discover a new angle.

"Your code sucks," isn't really constructive but I'd accept it any day over "You're a woman so I'm not going to listen to you."

It's about being respectful, which is reasonable I think, rather than fake nice.

I also don't disagree that much software aims for complete. It's not just code that comes from large communities though.

I'm certainly not saying simple, correct, and complete should be ignored, just that I think there is more to "success" than that.

Simple, correct, and complete code that isn't used may as well not have been written (barring for education).

You seem to be saying that because _you_ only care about the code, there isn't a problem.

If I find a citation error in a 10-year-old PhD thesis, and I've spoken to the author once, should I let him know ?
