thread_title:  Rutgers University Professor Sources 

message: From the article:
"The "other things being equal" clause is a critical qualification, which rather severely limits the utility of Ockham's razor in real practice, as theorists rarely if ever find themselves presented with competent theories of exactly equal explanatory adequacy."
On the contrary, isn't this an indication of how deeply integrated Ockham's razor is in the theoretic process? Theorists don't find themselves presented with theories of equal explanatory adequacy exactly because this principle has already eliminated duplicate ideas and theories before they are formally presented. If you were a scientist and you discovered that somebody else had already developed a complete theory based on your ideas, you would not begin developing yet another set of terms to describe those exact same ideas - because of Ockham's razor, not in spite of it. --AndersFeder 05:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article tone 

message: First, I'd like to say that the A-bike looks to me like a cleverly-designed little machine and that after many edits getting rid of POV marketing language, I think this article is not terribly far off from coming across as objective.
However, statements like The clear differences between the A-bike and other folding bicycles are the "telescopic structure" and the "twin-chain system". The telescopic structure enables the bicycle to diminish until it becomes about 25% in volume. give me the impression I'm reading directly from company-provided promotional material. 
I've since modified it to say The A-bike uses a telescoping structure to reduce the apparent volume in its collapsed state to about 25%, while the twin-chain system enables the rider to move about 3.2m per rotation of crank despite the bicycle's tiny wheels.
I have seen another bicycle like this with a twin chain system, and I have strong doubts that the actual volume of the bike is reduced so greatly.
The "See Also" links link only to other Sinclair products, not to other folding bicycles in the A-bike's class. While some people might think it natural to link to other (different) products by the same manufacturer, I think it comes across as further advertising for that manufacturer. There is, after all, already a link to both Clive Sinclair and Sinclair Research Ltd.  As such, I've deleted these Sinclair-only "See Also" links until someone wants to create a set of links to comparable bicycles regardless of manufacturer. --67.188.0.96 08:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  How does it feel to drive in relation to a normal bike?

message: I don't think 'volume' is a useful concept in this case - the 'interior' of a deployed A bike isn't really part of it. The volume measured by water displacement in a tank would be the same deployed or folded. Possibly the 'size' reduced to 25% would be better.

Talk:Strict scrutiny

message: Where is the citation to the alleged empirical study of strict scrutiny decisions in the federal courts by Adam Winkler which found that laws survive strict scrutiny over thirty percent of the time?  In light of the fact that this claim admittedly runs contrary to the majority view of lawyers, a citation should be given.
The way I learned the analysis was to review compelling ENDS and necessary MEANS.  Narrowly tailored/ least restrictive prongs are merely elements of the MEANS analysis.  does anyone care if I change that?  Concededly, it may just be another way to conceptualize the material.

message: I find a significant shortfall of this article, and the one's for intermediate scrutiny and rational basis review, that they do not include any compelling cases which were subjected to such scrutiny and upheld.

message: Im being redirected here from transudate. a transudate is not an exudate how may we sort this out?

message: The following is moved from lead section.  It doesn't belong in the lead (in my opinion) because: 1) it seems to be promoting Biatain® brand, and is cited to Coloplast™ ; 2) it seems to be a copy/paste since it begins with "It is also important...", but there is nothing previously mentioned that is "important" ; 3)  some of it doesn't seem to make sense, or is out of context.
:It is also important dealing with the control of exudate, removal of unhealthy tissue is key to improvement of the wound's healing process. A good wound cover keeps the wound moist and absorbs exudate at the same time. Thus, locking it inside the cover to prevent maceration.  Again, the absorption and retention of the wound are vital towards the healing process and keeping the wound safe. Exudate depurates the wound but the pus, liquid, ext. is left on the skin so it is important for the exudate to be removed carefully. Biatain foam is a type of cover that is made specifically for cleaning these types of injuries. These may be used for up to seven days, controlling all leakage and absorption of the wound.
