Talk:Robert Aumann

message: It seems that a few "good friends" of Auman take care to revert anything that criticise his political usage of his public appearances.
As scientists, we should educate the people about what belong to science, especially game theory, and what depends on personal assesment of a political situation.
Auman shamefully uses his position to claim on Israeli TV that "game theory " justifies his extreme right wing views.. This is incorrect and we have a right to discuss this.
::Are you a greater expert on game theory than Aumann, that you can claim that he is incorrect?  Or is it just that you disagree with him?  Scientists speak out all the time on social and political issues relating to their fields, and usually their views are given greater weight, as long as they are politically correct, that is.Pedantrician (talk) 06:25, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Discuss, yes. On this talk page. But in the article you have no right to edit at all if you cannot adhere to WP:NPOV and WP:NOR. If you write "Similar codes were also found in works of fiction as "war and peace", making the whole bible code affair another example how people with scientific background can sometimes miserably lose their common sense" you are imposing your opinion on the reader, something that no encyclopedia would ever do. Similarly saying that he was criticised for using game theory to explain political views without mentioning the critics means that you are the critic. Your edits will be reverted until you can adhere to those basic policies. You will find that you can say more or less the same things in an acceptable way. JFW | T@lk 22:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please respect the right to discuss Aumann's Political use of game threory 

message: I just added Aumann's latest views on Israeli politics. Finally he seems to have acknowledged the obvious fact that Israel is in troble.  His proposed remedy, however, is surprisingly refreshing..

message: A very short article with one ref, Aumann's Agreement Theorem ,meaning something like "informed people cannot agree to disagree" was created today about a theorem stated by Aumann in 1976. I propose to merge that 2 sentence article into this one. Edison (talk) 14:47, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur.  The Aumann's Agreement Theorem article is really too short to stand on its own, and any expansion of it would certainly be too technical for Wikipedia's general audience. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I disagree. This is a well known theorem which has implications in a variety of areas including philosophy of science. It should be fleshed out, not merged. JoshuaZ (talk) 05:55, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Disagree.  If that theorem was the only thing Aumann was known for, it would be appropriate.  But it isn't. McKay (talk) 08:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Also disagree. The Aumann's Agreement Theorem article needs to be expanded rather than merged into this article.radek (talk) 02:39, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

text: I disagree, unless we can have some guarantee that a section about Aumann's Agreement Theorem wouldn't be removed from the article once moved here. I find it to be an important theorem, even if it is really simple. --98.209.136.197 (talk) 21:27, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I disagree, as the article about the theorem looks more like a stub than a finished encyclopedia article. It is popularly expressed. A Bayesian theorem should have some mathematical notation. This should be add to the theorem page. Sae1962 (talk) 21:05, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
