@Richard_Littler@mastodon.social This can be reformulated as a parallel to Signal-to-noise ratio. It's similar to, say, deductive "proofs" of real world states of affair. Since deduction is categorically incapable of proving anything real, such nonsenses are just noise that distract us from what's actually useful: Observations of how things actually seem to be. Anyone who reaches for deduction to clarify reality is trying to deceive you, themselves, or both.
