@martincigan You mean as a kind of magic math that always works? Maybe, but then the person who presents such a figure needs to explain why they believe so. I am pretty sure the reason is simply that this is the easiest function to fit.

Pro tip: If you want to expose a #datascientist for not being a #statistician, (and you could do this here too), ask them: What precisely do these shaded areas around your curves represent? Stammering guaranteed.

@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization

The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.

#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.

I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.

The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.

So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence
