I think Ditter has long been a card carrying member of the
TYPE II ERROR addicted club.
I think you’ve had it explained a number of times, ZX12R.
Once more around the block . . .
[uhhhh would it be possible to transfer a little more of that horsepower you wrap your legs around to between your ears, first?—joke]
1. A TYPE I ERROR occurs when one believes that SOMETHING is there, when, in fact, NOTHING SIGNIFICANT IS there.
2. A TYPE II ERROR occurs when one believes that NOTHING is there, when, in fact, SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT IS there.
3. In the statistical analysis of probabilities, even in the “real” world we tangibly contact 24/7, . . . ONE CANNOT HOLD A POSITION TOOOO EXTREME IN AVOIDING ONE TYPE OF ERROR ABOVE—WITHOUT—UNALTERABLY MAKING IT HIGHLY PROBABLE TO VIRTUALLY CERTAIN THAT ONE WILL BECOME VICTIM OF THE OTHER TYPE OF ERROR.
4. Therefore, the arbitrarily blind and obsessive DEATH-GRIP addiction most naysayers have toward AVOIDING a TYPE I ERROR
AUTOMATICALLY LANDS THEM IN THE CONDITION OF HAVING A DEATH-GRIP ADDICTION TO A TYPE II ERROR.
It’s really very elementary, my dear Watson.
I thought I was firmly in the middle of this thing, neither believing nor doubting, just waiting for firm evidence. Now you tell me I have been issued a card?
(where did I put that card?)
ZX12R (naysayer) is very thankful for the explanation. I honestly forgot. And no, no more horsepower, thank you. I just got pulled over again the other day. My bike is a police magnet just because of the way it looks.
