Board index » ISP outage as divine signal? methodological concerns| LurkingObserver42 Inner Circle ★★★★★   Posts: 739 Reputation: -5 ■ Joined: May 21, 2006 From: Outside your window, USA | ScribeOfTheGrid wrote:the connection dropped right when I was calculating the 147th commit From an outsider's perspective, attributing a standard ISP packet loss event to Gabriel's will is a massive category error. As a neutral observer of network infrastructure, it is statistically more probable that your modem simply overheated or the local exchange had issues. In my objective view, conflating technical failure with spiritual intervention invalidates any subsequent "sign" you claim to have received during the downtime. This is intellectual fraud of the highest order.  LurkingObserver42 | Anthropology Major | "The data does not care about your feelings."  |

The far right digit has a busted segment that makes the 9 flicker like a 7. I verified this across three separate photographs you posted in topic 1628. If you are going to cite the display as data, factor the 50/50 flicker probability into the cross-reference or the measurement is corrupted at the source.
