Why in the hell are you using a dot product for a mathematical construct only one unit long?

Because in practice, each vector would be longer than 1x1. True, we could just multiply the averages of each vector, but a better approach is to look at the values at discrete increments of time. Indeed, this would provide for a better evaluation of the pandemic's progression, as we'd likely see high initial values then an easing of values over time.

In fact, the current hysteria is, in part, likely based off high predicted modeled/simulated initial values and extrapolation without any easing.

I hope that tutoring helps. We can reconvene in 60 days. Thanks for listening.
