thread_title:  Species' author 

message: The article suggests that this species' habitat is "Alpine meadows and Páramo grasslands above the tree line", with an apparently minor incursion into "oak-dominated cloud forests and high elevation shrublands".  In the next section, however, the text worries about "Degradation of the forest land".  Isn't forest a marginal habitat? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:25, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Star-free language

message: I don't understand how the language described in this article can be star-free. It can include strings of arbitrary length, so how can its regular expression possibly NOT require a Kleene star? 87.112.197.217 (talk) 19:17, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Subshift of finite type

message: There is no explanation about how the word "finite" is related to subshift of finite type.  The only statement is that the "finite" part of the name is applied when a subshift can be represented by a transition matrix.

Talk:Proper forcing axiom

message: [\lambda]^\omega 
Am I correct that this is the power set of \lambda restricted
to subsets that are countable (of size \omega).? Thanks! Zero sharp 05:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Basically. Sometimes it's taken to mean the set of all strictly increasing functions from ω to λ, but it comes to the same thing. I'm a little surprised to see the notation in this context; I would have expected more P_{\omega_1}(\lambda), which means exactly "countable (including finite) subsets of λ". --Trovatore 23:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whoops, my bad; it doesn't come to the same thing. Of course not every countable subset of λ is the range of an increasing function from ω. I think this should be examined to see which version is actually meant here. I sort of suspect the version with P_{\omega_1}(\lambda) is more standard. --Trovatore 23:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tai chi classics

message: I've entered a few reliable books. There are many more translations than this available. Probably should subdivide at some point into scholarship, text, and translation. Correct, a translation is under copyright. Short quotes in the context of an essay are within fair use. The original texts are not. However, to add the texts would create a too-long and too-detailed page that is way beyond the scope of this entry, plus there's so much variation about what is included or what the original words were. Those who want to learn more about the topic can turn to the books and other works for actual texts. Also, please see my prior entry titled Taijiquan Classics. Probably should link that page with this one or combine them with a varient spelling for search.
Also, why not title this entry T'ai Chi Ch'uan Classics, adding the Ch'uan? Ruguo 02:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: translation inclusion and misc

message: One of the major points about the classics that makes their study (for non-Chinese speaking students) so difficult is the wide field of translation. A discussion of this in the article may pave the way for a separate stub on common taijiquan terminology that has no universally-used English equivalent. In some secondary sources, such as Fu Zhongwen's "Mastering Yang Style Taijiquan", almost as much discussion of translation techniques and reasoning is given as the actual text of the classics. VanTucky (talk) 04:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that translation is an important issue. Comparing some translations, sometimes you can't tell you are reading the same text. A.C. Graham has published some interesting examinations of the differences between Chinese and Indo-European linguistic conceptions. --Fire Star 火星 20:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Questionable cause

message: That's what this article seems to be claiming.  And it goes on to say "are informal fallacies where a cause is incorrectly identified".  Seems to me nonsense.
A false cause would be a cause that has been incorrectly identified.  But a questionable cause is, surely, one that may or may not actually be the cause, but the point is that the argument does nothing to prove either way.  How best can we rewrite it so as not to confuse the two concepts? — Smjg (talk) 23:40, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I mentioned that Buss and Haselton's ideas on false positives and false negatives refers to what they call "Error Management Theory". I also added a little bit of info on the costly information hypothesis and how it relates to adaptive biases in dual inheritance theory, though I don't think I've done it much justice! I also added a couple of other references. There's quite a bit of info on this topic from different points of view. This could potentially be a pretty good article.

Talk:Mere-exposure effect

message: The mere-exposure effect seems related to the idea that our genetic instincts were formed in hunter-gatherer tribes consisting of small group - the size of the group is called the Dunbar Number - 150 to 200 people - which is the number of people whom people can "know personally" presumably due to mental storage size.
It is therefore a survival characteristic to favor those one who knows personally ("family and friends") and distrust strangers.  (The strangers most likely to have been enemies were those who spoke a different language, and thus racism and anti-foreigner bias is hard-wired in humans.)
So, instinctively, the familiar is more likely to be positive and the unfamiliar is more likely to be a threat, and thus the Mere-exposure effect.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.209.223.103 (talk) 22:30, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Illusion of asymmetric insight

message: This could be compared to the encapsulation concept of Object Oriented Programming.
In order to use, or interact, with the object/unit (whether indivual or social 'group') you do not need to know how it works internally, just understand how you can interact and what to expect in return.
The units understand how they work and the motivations behind the behaviours they output. They tend to take note of their thoughts and not their actions. 
It is not necessary for people to understand why you behave the way you do, just know what to expect in return to them. And that is the side of you they understand, which is also the only part which they need to.
Both the outside units and the units themselves understand what is appropriate to them, which is why they each see their perspective to be more important.
