Dang, Corvettes a lot safer than I thought...

[DMC]

No goalposts have been moved as you dont even know which field you are playing on.
RG used what is a reasonable assessment and you cant stand it when called on it. You did not even know the corvete had info on is as you stepped into the middle of you dont know. All of this started with reasonable estimations you dumb fk.

I am a professional talker on line. Really. I am the word salad guy, but now I am the professional online talker online. Pick a lane.
Offline you are obviously the professional because you never talk about things you know about online. Great logic there grumpa.

I am quite entertained because with each discussion you show what a fake you are.
I know more science than you do on the whole. There is show no shame in that. Except dont go all big on us and claim you write for a science magazine.
And I know and do far more science OFFline than you have ever even thought about. No shame in that either. You dont work with it, you dont think about it. I do.

STick to your guns... and trucks.

"I do more science"

Not an answer, .

Since the corvette was going faster than the victims car, are all speeds for the victims car under 127 MPH equally likely, ? Yes or no?

How does the speed limit sign resolve this further?

[pgardn]

"I do more science"

I know it hurts but it is what it is.
AT least I dont lie about being a particle physicist. yeah sure thing DMac...
The appropriate emoji would laugh and throws up at the same time.

[RandomGuy]

You ignored my response. If you know nothing about both vehicles and only see the crash, you cannot use the speed limit sign to estimate their speeds. If you cannot do it with both you cannot do it with one. It doesn't matter that you already know something about the corvette, you couldn't have used the speed limit sign to get therePERIOD. End of story.

For your ed statement to be true here, the following would have to be true for the victims car:

"All speeds are equally likely".

Since the corvette was going faster than the victims car, are all speeds under 127 MPH equally likely, ? Yes or no?

How would you know the corvette was going faster than the victim's car just by looking at the speed limit signs?

Jesus ing christ, either they are all equally likely, or they are not. There is no other option. This shouldn't be difficult for an honest broker intellectual such as yourself, but you are really struggling with it for some reason.

Talk about how the speed limit sign narrows these options down. Your red herring about all things being equal completely ignores the speed limit sign.

That isn't an answer, geenyus. I think you know the problem with your earlier statement and are tryign to walk it the back.

So no, all speeds are not equally likely. Therefore there must be some way to get to a reasonable estimation.

Let's see if we can find that.

Do speed limit signs generally control speed for cars, yes or no?

[CosmicCowboy]

Only on Spurstalk would an asinine argument like this go on for 6 pages.

[RandomGuy]

Do speed limit signs generally control speed for cars, yes or no?

No.

So, we have some progress.

DMC: Speed limit signs do not generally control speed for cars.

So in any given 35mph zone all cars at all times could be going 1 mph, could be going 35 mph, could be going 110mph, all with equal probability.

I could select cars all day long on a road with a 35 mph speed limit, plot their speed, and have a perfectly flat graph.

Correct?

Correct?

Speed limit signs never control the speed of cars. Otherwise, when a car is speeding, the sign needs to be repaired.

You asked a question, do speed limit signs generally control the speed of cars. I answered "no".

Now you're going on a different tangent.

How do speed limit signs control the speed of cars? Never mind driving tendencies.

Surrender accepted.

Chicken DMC never fails to fail. Nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor, nearly stood up to the vicious chicken of bristol.

Such simple questions. So difficult for DMC.

[DMC]

Surrender accepted.

Chicken .

Speed limit signs cannot be used to determine the speed of a carPERIOD.

Still waiting for you to justify your neophyte mistake. We already know half of the cars in the OP weren't being controlled by the speed limit sign. Why is it then reasonable to assume the other half was?

If your assertion were true, you wouldnt' be afraid of answering my questions, chicken . Restating your ed assertion repeatedly wont' make it valid. Defending it might.

3rd time:

I could select cars all day long on a road with a 35 mph speed limit, plot their speed, and have a perfectly flat graph.

Correct?

[RandomGuy]

I think the graph of car speeds would look more like a negatively skewed graph with the median right around 35mph.

[RandomGuy]

Why is it then reasonable to assume the other half was?

The probability of any coin toss is always equal, no matter what the results of the preceding toss was.

Basic statistics 101.

For it to be unreasonable, you would have to negate an entire field of mathematics, that's why.

Are you going to negate an entire field of mathematics?

you could only take his claim this literally if you were acting in bad faith

You start with bad data and use a flawed method to get to a flawed result. This is why DarrinS laughed at you before he bent you over. If you knew anything at all about what you were discussing you would have known suggesting the speed limit sign was hasty and flawed. Now you're trying to show that it was reasonable.

What would have been reasonable would have been to say "maybe she wasn't going faster than the speed limit which based on that sign is 45" but no, you pulled a Wild Cobra and "estimated" using your mad reasoning skillz. You then doubled down.

Now you want to tack the entire field of mathematics onto your assertion as if you being wrong makes math itself wrong

[DMC]

Not true.

If his claim was correct, then the speed limit sign was controlling the speed of the victim's car. If his claim wasn't true, then the victim (or some other force) was controlling the speed of the victim's car.

The first is obviously flawed however posters here routinely use these kinds of word games as escape hatches when they are cornered. You are no exception.

Either probabilities and statistics work or they don't.

Your inability to understand them, doesn't negate them. The truth doesn't care about your feelings, snowflake.

[DMC]

Either speed limit signs control vehicle speeds or they don't.

You're moving the goalposts and throwing a fit because I won't play along.

Was "control" just a bad choice of words?

[RandomGuy]

Not true.

If his claim was correct, then the speed limit sign was controlling the speed of the victim's car. If his claim wasn't true, then the victim (or some other force) was controlling the speed of the victim's car.

"vicious wordgames" everyone else understood it but you.

Only an idiot would think that I mean that a sign was actively controlling a car's speed.

or someone with a reading disability. less funny, but everytime I talk with you it boils down to that.

[DMC]

"vicious wordgames" everyone else understood it but you.

So you're not liable for your own words and I should respond to you like you're a re . Got it.
