AMKitsune: Creator and creation having a drunken argument. Probably at a place that seves mexican food and has wifi not meant for live video streaming.
Kazerad: @MetalC0Mmander: A null hypothesis is basically a statement of commonly accepted reality. It might be something like "there is no relation between someone's car color and driving ability", "cigarettes cause cancer", or "Texans mostly vote republican". When running a proper study, you take a null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis (e.g. "Texans mostly vote democrat", or "people in red cars drive worse") and try to see which is better supported by data. The alternative hypothesis is the thing you surmise MAY be more accurate than the null.
Although any result is a "success", since it answers questions, researchers set out to "refute the null hypothesis" - to show that the commonly accepted theory holds less validity than their alternative one. This is a very important practice, because science isn't designed to "prove" things by finding evidence - it's designed to replace weaker theories with more powerful ones. People who try to bypass the null hypothesis - to show that a theory is "true" because there is evidence for it - are usually trying to hide the fact that there is more evidence for the commonly accepted belief. Null hypothesis testing is designed to pitch them against eachother.
Bluedragon: I don't know if it was intentional, but I think CaptainLackwit just reimagined this exact picture. Kaz explains Null Hypothesis, CaptainLackwit talks about shipping people.
Just like in the picture, I imagine after Kaz' rant, Katia says, "You have a funny beard!"
AlTan: @Kazerad: Very Intresting method. Espechially I like your comment about "proving". I often observe the consequences of this bad patern. Unfortunately in russian science especially, turned out the scientific schools system. I will not to say, that there are only minuses in this, but of cource, if you are the student, you accepted scientific school's views. So, in our country prevails the idea of "right" and "wrong" methods and theories (read ours and non ours). And of cource we all are "proving" only our once.
But it's questionable, that weak theories must be always replaced by more powerful ones. Just remind Newton's theory. In additional, then more theories about some problem, then better. For example the theory of evolution describes the origin of human, sociology - social behavior, psychology - habits and etc. Together they describe a human in general. Therefore, i think any theory is acceptable, if it solves any problem and it accepted at least someone.
Geravind: @Kazerad: Your explanation sucks. Khajiit got more confused, than was initially. Probably, you've been on skooma for a while.
Stop drinking, give her a hug, tell her, that we all care about her ...most of us.
And buy for her a normal underwear, asshole!
aedan122: @Kazerad:
Remember what I said about them having a psychotic passion by their creation? Not all but how can I say, a certain fandom, well, just here waiting for the next upgrade, success there.
MetalC0Mmander: @Geravind: Few things. First of no I actually likes his explenation it made sense to me (I think). Sencondly he did get her real underwear during the last update and I'm pretty sure she's wearing some others in this picture.
Geravind: @MetalC0Mmander: It's hard to catch philosophical sense in attempts of translation -- you understand words, sentences, but not the entire fucking sense.
Khajiit was talking about the drunken argument scene, not about the webcomic (what webcomic?).
=o_o= ...and Katy is looking glad here, anyway.
