Re: Death Penalty Article
"I have not read all of these posts but...this would in no way address the one overriding argument aginst the death penalty - the morality of it."
As I've written before "my subjects choose me". Which is why people who criticize me for writing about things outside my field are wrong. I have no particular interest in those fields. Other than the fact that I noticed that some shoddy thinking, often involving probability, is commonplace in that field (like it used to be in poker). My expertise is applying logic and probability to various endeavors. Whether it be deciding on death penalties or two point football conversions. People should make their final decisions taking all factors into account. But no final decison can be trusted if the logic probability part is screwed up.
