Why do iKooks repeatedly call people an "it"?
*What kind of rather strange ?adult? repeatedly does such a thing?*
Is it what religious fanatics do?
Why?

As opposed to calling people "iKook"?

While I've been on the child-like Apple operating system newsgroups for
years, I've been on the adult operating system newsgroups for those same
years. The people who post to them are extremely different.

a. Those who post to the adult operating system newsgroups act normally.
b. Those who post to the child-like Apple newsgroups, decidedly do not.

So what would _you_ call those posters who post to Apple newsgroups, JR?

Almost never (and, in fact, likely never) does anyone on the adult
operating system newsgroups foment the kind of outright fabrications of
imaginary functionality that occurs _constantly_ on the Apple OS ngs.

A classic example of this imaginary functionality iOS fabrication is:
*It's a fact iOS devices can't even graph Wi-Fi signal strength over time*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/PZuec56EWB0>
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/PZuec56EWB0>

Basically, when there is missing functionality on teh adult operating
systems newsgroups, people simply agree on the facts of the matter.

On the child-like Apple newsgroups, the iKooks _fabricate_ the
functionality, and yet, they can never answer this simple question:
*Name just one*

They always fail at that.
This is quite different from a normal person, Jolly Roger, is it not?

Nobody on the adult operating system newsgroups constantly fabricates
imaginary functionality that is easily proven to not exist, Jolly Roger.

That only happens on the Apple newsgroups.

Hence, it's a valid question to ask, where the iKooks are all the same ilk:
a. None of them has an IQ even approaching that of normal
b. None of them has any education over the high school level
c. All of them defend every Apple action to the death

Given that fact... *What would _you_ call that type of person?*

Well, I'm not sure, as what I'm sure about is all these strange people are
far to the left of the first quartile delineation in Dunning-Kruger graphs.

Hence, they have no adult response to facts that they simply don't like.

A. When they're confronted with a fact they don't like...
B. They just want that fact to go away.

However, the fact doesn't go away.
a. Facts are the most dangerous enemy of an imaginary belief system.
b. Which is why these people are desperate to make all facts disappear.

The only way they can make facts disappear... is to make the messenger
disappear, which is why in the past nospam asked for me to be killed.

Likewise, their fear of facts is why Jolly Roger said he would be happy if
I died - because then he wouldn't have to deal with facts about Apple.

The problem for them is that whether or not I exist, the facts will.
They don't understand that simple concept.

So they try to make me go away.
By calling me a "loser" (Jolly Roger), "gay" (Alan Baker) & "it" Alan
Browne (as if that child-like insult is their only response to facts).

This question really should be something akin to "Why do are these people
so deathly afraid of facts that they resort to kindergarten style insults
to make the bearer of facts go away?".

*What kind of rather oddly clearly rather strange person does that?*

--
If the iKooks left the child-like Apple newsgroups, suddenly and instantly,
these child-like Apple OS newsgroups would be like the adult OS newsgroups.

The question is what is it that makes these strange iKooks do what they do?
And why.

None of the iKooks are normal people. None act like adults.
None own the adult comprehensive skills to even understand the D-K graphs.

For example, any adult knows that every person with any level of skill fits
into DK quartiles. Except the iKooks.

These child-like iKooks actually don't understand that simple fact.
Why not?

The very fact Hemidactylus has absolutely no idea why I mentioned the first
quartile, is additional evidence these iKooks can't comprehend any facts.

Even so, plenty of people are to the left of the D-K first quartile.
Even people on the adult operating system newsgroups are (e.g., micky).

What makes the iKooks iKooks is their religious fanaticism.
Not their ignorance, low IQ, lack of education per se.

The iKooks all own a religious _hatred_ for facts about Apple products.

The point here isn't that. It's that they're child-like in their response.
Why?

Can't iKooks come up with a more adult "insult" than calling someone an it?

Hi Jolly Roger,
I study you just like Dunning & Kruger studied that rather peculiar
lemon-juice covered bank robber.

You interest me.
Hence, I read _everything_ that you write on these newsgroups, JR.

Having gone to the best schools in this country and subsequently having
worked in high-tech startups in the Silicon Valley, I've never met in the
flesh people like these strange iKooks are - only here - on Apple ngs.

These strange people only exist on the child-like Apple newsgroups for the
most part, as almost nobody on the adult operating system newsgroups would
send users on a futile wild-goose chase just because they asked a question
of an Apple product that Apple doesn't want that product to be able to do.

There are _many_ (many!) examples of this interaction; here's just one:
*Why are iKooks sadistically sending innocent users on wild-goose chases?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/ynh0PE9lK_I/>

What normal person does that?
None, right?

So there's something rather strangely different about these Apple posters.
{JollyRoger,YourName,Haemactylus,nospam,AlanBrowne,AlanBaker,Snit, et al.}

They've lied for years about Apple support (or they were ignorant of
everything that they claimed - you can choose which one but not both).
*Proof the iKooks have lied for years - or - more to the point - have been IGNORANT for years*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/ZE8GboBUO3c/>

They constantly lie to cover up what Apple does, to claim it didn't happen.
*Why do the low IQ iKooks like nospam always lie to cover up Apple's faults?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/AiMYbSmplkw/>

What normal person does that?
None, right?

Hi Hemidactylus,

I study all you strange iKooks so I likely know you better than you know
yourself, especially I study why you hate the truth about Apple products.

What separates iKooks mostly from normal people is that iKooks are strange
religious zealots who don't understand facts and who are ignorant of them.

Yet, iKooks form completely imaginary belief systems based on no facts.
*Which is why iKooks are so deathly afraid of facts.*
*And of the mere messenger bearing facts.*

Hence, you have to admit, iKooks are very strange people indeed, so when
you try to claim I don't have the education that I do, think again please.

Tell that to Chris who fabricated a PhD in the biological sciences and yet
he immediately ridiculed the use of "vehicle" in terms of immunology.

HINT: Nobody who took even one immunology class would say thats that.

Same as Alan Baker who insists that he "teaches racing" and owns a BMW and
yet he doesn't even know the first thing about what BMW racing vehicles are
called. Similar with Alan Browne who claims to understand how Apple
products work and yet he's never once ever heard of the walled garden.
Likewise with Jolly Roger who claims to understand how Apple releases
software and yet for years claimed a lie that simply wasn't true (i.e.,
Apple only fully supports a single release for Mac and/or iOS is the only
truth there is despite Jolly Roger claiming otherwise for years on end).

It's the same with you, Hemidactylus. Liars you iKooks are. All liars.
You don't know the first thing about the D-K research papers.

Hell, you don't even know what's to the left of the first quartile mark and
what's to the right of the last one - which is fundamental to their
research.

*If you don't even know that - you know absolutely nothing, Hemidactylus.*

Which was my point.
You "think" you understand D-K but it's clear you've _never_ read the
papers (hence, you know absolutely nothing about what those graphs mean).

You don't even know about the English test, for example, Hemidactylus.
That's how ignorant you are.

And that's OK.
But you can't _claim_ to be "not ignorant" when it's clear you are.
*That's what iKooks do*, Hemidactylus.

No. You're wrong. I've told you iKooks many times why I'm here. You just
are too stupid to comprehend that people are actually honest and tell the
truth about Apple products.

It astounds you, in fact, that there are people that don't lie to defend
Apple's honor to the death, Hemidactylus.

You're disappointed, in fact, that there are people who do NOT gloat about
how much profit Apple makes off of the ignorant iKooks, Hemidactylus.

It shocks you that anyone would tell the truth about Apple, Hemidactylus.
So be it.

I feel sorry for you rather strange iKooks, Hemidactylus. I really do.

a. None of you own an IQ even approaching normal, and, as a result,
b. None of you iKooks has any education to speak of, but worse...
c. Because of that, you're completely ignorant of almost everything.

But being completely ignorant of all that Apple does isn't why Jolly Roger
claimed for years that Apple fully patched older releases, Hemidactylus.

Being completely ignorant that the walled garden exists isn't what makes
Alan Browne repeatedly claim, in classic Trumpian fashion, that the walled
garden can't exist simply because he's never recognized it.

Being completely ignorant that anyone can change their headers isn't what
makes Alan Baker repeatedly claim that the newsreader directive must be
true or being completely ignorant of all things around racing isn't what
makes Alan Baker a liar...

No.
Having a low IQ, no education & being ignorant isn't what makes you iKooks.

What makes you iKooks is you religiously defend everything Apple to the
death, and yet, you understand absolutely nothing about what Apple does.

Take nospam, for example.
a. Clearly he has the highest IQ of all the iKooks, right?
b. And yet, he's _constantly_ fabricating imaginary apps that do not exist.

Why?
The only valid answer is he's an iKook.

He can't comprehend the simplest things about Apple, Hemidactylus.
Neither can you.

In this situation, you can't fathom the simplest thing about D-K results.

Not people - just loser trolls like you. And it works. Look how

Hi Jolly Roger,
I study you just like Dunning & Kruger studied that rather peculiar
lemon-juice covered bank robber.

They didn’t study that bank robber. That incident was used as an anecdote.

from a variety of courses in psychology who earned extra credit for their
participation” which translates to WEIRD kids.

statistical exercise in seeing shapes in clouds.

You interest me.
Hence, I read _everything_ that you write on these newsgroups, JR.
Having gone to the best schools in this country and subsequently having
worked in high-tech startups in the Silicon Valley, I've never met in the
flesh people like these strange iKooks are - only here - on Apple ngs.
These strange people only exist on the child-like Apple newsgroups for the
most part, as almost nobody on the adult operating system newsgroups would
send users on a futile wild-goose chase just because they asked a question
of an Apple product that Apple doesn't want that product to be able to do.
*Why are iKooks sadistically sending innocent users on wild-goose chases?*

What normal person does that?
None, right?
So there's something rather strangely different about these Apple posters.
{JollyRoger,YourName,Haemactylus,nospam,AlanBrowne,AlanBaker,Snit, et al.}
They've lied for years about Apple support (or they were ignorant of
everything that they claimed - you can choose which one but not both).
*Proof the iKooks have lied for years - or - more to the point - have
been IGNORANT for years*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/ZE8GboBUO3c/>
They constantly lie to cover up what Apple does, to claim it didn't happen.
*Why do the low IQ iKooks like nospam always lie to cover up Apple's faults?*

Don't worry Hemidactylus,

I knew you never read their seminal papers, so you have no clue whom they
studied, just like Alan Baker is a liar that he teaches racing since he
doesn't even know the difference between a bimmer and a beamer (which grew
up as racing terms) just as nospam constantly claims imaginary apps for iOS
that don't exist, just as Alan Baker always claims every fact is a lie,
etc.

Hemidactylus, Alan Browne, Snit, Alan Baker, Lewis, nospam, et al.

You iKooks all _hate_ facts.
You iKooks all _fear_ facts, in fact.

Hence, you fear (and hate) anyone who presents facts to an Apple newsgroup.

Yes, I know you iKooks better than you know yourselves, Hemidactylus.
a. None of you iKooks has an IQ that even approaches normal
b. None of you iKooks has any education above high school as a result
c. But worse, you're all completely ignorant of everything you speak about

You have no idea what a quartile is and yet it's used many times in the
seminal D-K papers, Hemidactylus, as it's an important inflection point.

Every one of you strange iKooks owns completely imaginary belief systems.
None of you strange iKooks makes any assessment based on the facts.

*The iKooks is a religious zealot.*

Which, by the way, truth be told, is exactly the reason why Alan Browne
thinks that anyone who is not a religious zealot is an "it", and why Jolly
Roger thinks anyone who is not a religious zealot is a "loser", and why
Alan Baker thinks anyone who is not a religious zealot is "gay", etc.

He actually believes he's being clever.

Notice that you iKooks have to build an imaginary strawman, that I'm an F1
Driver, just so that you have something (anything!) to say to negate it.
*Facts mean absolutely nothing to you iKooks.*

I never said I was a racer; however I do own both a bimmer & a beemer.
And we can look up the cite which shows Alan Baker never heard of them.

Think about that.
Think real hard about that.

It's the _first_ think you learn about BMWs, Hemidactylus.
Yes. The first thing.

If you don't know the difference between a bimmer and a beemer, especially
in racing circuits, then people will immediately assess you as a moron.

Which is why I assessed Alan Baker as a moron.
At least he admitted, at the time, he never heard the words used.

But who the hell is in racing circuits that never heard of those words?
Nobody right?

Only an iKook would.
*Facts mean absolutely nothing to you iKooks.*

Just like Chris claimed he had a PhD and yet he never heard the word
"vehicle" used in immunological terms - so he ridiculed that usage.

Who would do that?

Unlike you iKooks, Hemidactylus, I wasn't told my whole life I was stupid.
Poor Jolly Roger was. So was Alan Baker. And Alan Browne. And you too.

In a way, I feel sorry for you all but you being stupid is NOT what makes
you iKooks after all. Even your religious zealotry isn't what makes you so
very strange.

It's that you are so stupid you don't realize how incredibly stupid you are
(and then you spout this bullshit about you understanding D-K for example).

You don't know the first thing about D-K, Hemidactylus.
Just like Alan Baker doesn't know the first thing about beemers or bimmers.
And like Alan Browne doesn't know the first thing about the walled garden.

Yet, you're too stupid to realize that simple fact.

Or he¢s just an empty braggart with no life and nothing to show for all the

I think you established your bonafides. That Arlen is hung up on what
people call BMWs is ridiculous. Who cares.

I mostly like watching garage shows. There was one focused on modding JDMs.
I actually saw an old Skyline (I assume) a few months back locally with the
driver on the passenger side. Was stock and not modded at all.

I am also at a loss as to why people do the stance car look. Or maybe it’s
more the negative camber thing. Lowering was my thing in the late 80s with
a Nissan pickup (with some subwoofer bass but not competition). But the
camber look makes no sense. I guess every generation tries to be more
ridiculous than the preceding one. The mumble rap makes no sense either and
I grew up on hiphop.

to get out of the simple fact that he doesn't know the first thing about

I am also at a loss as to why people do the stance car look.

While I've written tutorials on the net on why passenger vehicle brake
rotors do not warp (even though ignorant people like iKooks think they do),
and while I've written tutorials on many BMW repairs (e.g., the ABS control
module), I do not claim to be an expert in anything related to car repairs.

Sure, I can change a clutch plate & flywheel - and I've written the
step-by-step tutorial on rec.autos.tech that shows others how to, but I
don't claim to be an expert in something that I'm not an expert in.

That's the fundamental difference between iKooks and normal people.

Other than that you tried to claim that a facetious comment about
"bimmer" vs "beemer" meant that I couldn't possibly be telling the
truth about being a racing driver and race driving instructor.

He doesn't know the first thing about BMWs. He just doesn't.

I know I own one.

The truly hilarious part is that he thinks that using two particular
slang terms means you know everything else about race driving.

Well...
...I COULD take a picture of the dozens of books I have on racing...
...but they're mostly about the design, construction and care and
feeding of race cars.
"The Art and Science of Grand Prix Driving".
Does that count?
:-)

Pics or it's fake news in Arlen's World! 😉

He doesn't know the first thing about BMWs. He just doesn't.

I know I own one.

It's not even an exclusive club. BMWs aren't huge fucking secrets. I
have only owned BMW cars since 2001, and while I don't do my own
repairs, I can certainly tell you where to connect jumper cables, how
to do routine maintenance, and so on. Arlen acts like "knowing the
first thing about BMWs" is some huge achievement when it just isn't.

The truly hilarious part is that he thinks that using two particular
slang terms means you know everything else about race driving.

He's a true man child who can't help but give himself away every time he

All you low-IQ iKooks greatly suffer from the D-K left-quartile flaws, JR.

For example, that you actually believe a technical book would use common
slang is interesting. It might. But it just as likely might not. The mere
fact they don't use slang isn't any indication that they're unaware of it.

Certainly NOBODY who is on a BMW forum would _ever_ be unaware, JR.
(They ridicule the hell out of any moron who doesn't know these words.)

Remember, Alan Baker "said" he's a racer & teacher - and yet - he clearly
did not know the simplest things about that which he claims excellence.

What's different is that someone who supposedly has been owning BMWs and
racing cars (and even "teaching" racing, if you can believe that),
who doesn't know the first thing about those cars - is either extremely
a. ignorant - or -

No. It's the _opposite_ of a stalker, Hemidactylus. He's plonked.

Nonetheless, I'm sure one of you will quote the IQ 40 Alan Baker if he

when racing beemers, but it also applies to cagers depending on the track.

If he responds to the challenge, you childish iKooks won't be able to hold
yourselves back saying that Alan knew the simplest racing terms after all.

Yet he doesn't.
So he won't.

*You think I don't know how ignorant all you iKooks are Hemidactylus?*

Whether or not you quote his replies, my point is that all you iKooks are

b. Uneducated
c. Ignorant

Such that you iKooks are so far to the left of the D-K first quartile that
you don't even realize how ignorant you are - as you think you're a genius.

Did you notice nobody would put Ant or badgolferman or Steve Scharf in the

Even Hank Rogers isn't an iKook (as far as I can tell from what he writes).

But I do claim to have higher education.

Which means I understand what a catenary is.
And how it applies to racing.

By contrast, Alan Baker has never heard of a catenary in his entire life.
Even after desperately googling it, he still can't figure out what it is.

And yet, it's one of the most important racing terms there ever was.

Maybe you're way out of your league.

That's what nospam told me when he claimed imaginary wi-fi debugging tools,
Hemidactylus. That's what Jolly Roger told me when he claimed Apple fully
supports older releases, Hemidactylus. That's what Alan Browne told me when
he claimed he's never noticed the walled garden so he says it can't exist.

Do you think you telling me that you're too stupid to understand a catenary
is your best way of trying to tell me that I'm not in your league?

You know you've been called stupid your entire life.
Do you think I don't know it?

I don't trust you to convey much of anything accurately
as you're just an arrogant blowhard who might have gotten a GED and a

And yet, the fact remains that the iKooks call people an 'it' because they

Let's see what Alan Baker 40 IQ is capable of responding to with
the word "catenary" (given he's a self-proclaimed "instructor of
racing"), shall we?

Oh great an obsessive stalker.

No. It's the _opposite_ of a stalker, Hemidactylus. He's plonked.

I was referring to your “Rest assured, I read EVERYTHING you write on
this newsgroup, Hemidactylus.” creeper.

Post by Wally J
Nonetheless, I'm sure one of you will quote the IQ 40 Alan Baker if
he desperately googles to see how a catenary applies to racing,
particularly when racing beemers, but it also applies to cagers
depending on the track.
If he responds to the challenge, you childish iKooks won't be able to
hold yourselves back saying that Alan knew the simplest racing terms
after all.
Yet he doesn't. So he won't.
*You think I don't know how ignorant all you iKooks are
Hemidactylus?*
Whether or not you quote his replies, my point is that all you iKooks
are a. Low IQ b. Uneducated c. Ignorant
Such that you iKooks are so far to the left of the D-K first quartile
that you don't even realize how ignorant you are - as you think
you're a genius.

So you make up some fictitious category “iKooks” lacking real
application in the world and still cling to the illusory statistical
artifact of the D-K graph. Then you pretend to lecture me about
anything. Silly ignorant kook.

It's *always* projection with assholes like Arlen. They can't help but
project their own weaknesses onto others.

Post by Wally J
Which is the point.
While I don't ever claim to be a racer, nor a teacher, I probably
already know more about racing than the iKook Alan Baker will know in
his life.
That's literally how incredibly ignorant all you iKooks are
Hemidactylus. A. *Who is so ignorant to claim Apple fully patches
older releases?* Nobody right? Yet the ignorant iKook Jolly Roger
says so all the time.
B. *Who is so ignorant to claim the famed walled garden doesn't
exist?* Nobody right? Yet the ignorant iKook Alan Browne says so all
the time.
C. *Who is so ignorant to claim imaginary graphical WiFi strength
apps?* Nobody right? Yet the ignorant nospam fabricates the apps all
the time.
It's no longer shocking how utterly ignorant all iKooks are,
Hemidactylus.
Which is why I'm positive Alan Baker has no idea of the racing term
even as it's one of the most significant and common terms to teach in
racing.

How would you know? Aren’t you a mere dilettante at best? Maybe you’re
way out of your league. I don’t trust you to convey much of anything
accurately as you’re just an arrogant blowhard who might have gotten a
GED and a mail-order degree from a diploma mill.

Every single accusation from Arlen is a confession.

Hi Jolly Roger,

I agree with you. I'll agree with anyone who presents a sensible argument.
*Why do these rather strange iKooks repeatedly call people an "it"?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/pSJ4OnxviWQ/m/KiMqn1w4AwAJ>

Alan Browne, for example, calls anyone bearing facts, an "it", which is his
way of making all inconvenient facts about Apple products go away for him.

Likewise, you claimed many times that Apple fully supports older releases.
Just as nospam constantly fabricated imaginary app store apps for iOS.

Alan Baker, admittedly the lowest IQ of all the iKooks, claimed many times
that you can't change something as trivial as the newsreader header line.
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/EiNl6hyMBDo/>

And even now, the IQ 40 iKook Alan Baker "claims" to "teach racing" and yet
he doesn't know the simplest most basic of racing terms such as how a
catenary applies to racing circuits when it's the most critical component
in terms of racing strategy.

At this moment, Alan is furiously desperately googling & yet he still can't
comprehend what he sees because he has never taken Calculus or Physics.

He may as well google Christoffel Symbols or the Metric Tensor for all the
value his admittedly shockingly low IQ will afford him an understanding of.

You know, Jolly Roger, I've explained a million times what makes you an
iKook, and it's _not_ that someone disagrees with any assessments.

Hell, I'll agree with _anyone_ who presents a sensibly logical opinion.

What's interesting, Jolly Roger, is you don't know why you're an iKook.

To wit...

The reason you're an iKook, Jolly Roger, has _nothing_ to do with

I think micky is a moron, Jolly Roger.

There's a reason you're an iKook, Jolly Roger.

What you need to do is look at yourself, Jolly Roger.
And figure out _why_ you're such a strange iKook.

I already told you why you're an iKook. Telling you again won't help you
figure it out, just like explaining what a catenary is to Alan Baker won't
help him with his brazen lies that he's a racecar driver and instructor.

There isn't anyone intelligent in racing circuits who doesn't know the

I’m not a racer, but I would guess it has something to do with calculating
how to enter and exit a curve. As a motorcycle rider there are some very
fine points of curve management one must learn to handle their bike safely.

I am a racer... ...for the last 11 years.

And before I was a racer, I took a 3-day race driving school with Skip
Barber (look them up) followed by 2 2-day advance courses.

And now I myself am a certified senior race driving instructor.

And I can back up everything I say.

In all that time, no one has ever referred to the line that a car takes
through a corner as being a catenary.

But Arlen is too cowardly to engage.

Please ask the iKook Alan Baker if he knows how a catenary affects racing.

So please no one respond to this until you've replied to the other
message I made replying to Arlen's post.

This is solely my prediction that he's about to claim that a catenary is
the shape of the path of a car (or other vehicle) going round a corner
at the highest possible speed.

And I'll say here and now that he's wrong. I've studied this very
problem and there are some very obvious arguments about WHY it cannot be
a catenary curve.

I won't say what the real answer is until later.

Hi Jolly Roger,

I love when all you iKooks post. I really do. I read EVERYTHING you say.
I learn (about you) from you, in fact, Jolly Roger. And from Alan Browne.

Also from Hemidactylus. It's only Joerg and Alan Baker that I plonked.
Everything I post to the child-like Apple newsgroups has a purpose.

A. To disseminate (or learn) facts about Apple products, and,
B. To show the iKooks for what they are.

The reason for bringing up the fact Alan Baker claimed repeatedly that
nobody could change newsreader headers was to prove that the iKooks form
very strong belief systems which are based on exactly zero actual facts.
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/EiNl6hyMBDo/>

It's the same reason I bring up that Alan Baker claimed repeatedly that he
"taught racing" and owns a BMW, and yet, he knows nothing about either.

That's why I brought up the word "catenary" which _every_ (real) racer
knows all about, as it's one of the most important words in racing schools.

Yet I'll be Alan Baker is, at this very moment, furiously googling what the
word catenary means - and all he's finding is cites about bridge building.

This so-called "racer" is confused by that word. Bewildered. Flummoxed.
His low-IQ brain can't figure out what a catenary has to do with racing.

Which is my point after all, Jolly Roger.

Oh wow open wheel! I have a Civic so I was expecting a tricked out street
car. Nope!

From the moment I decided to go racing, I knew I really wanted to race
an open wheel class. And top of my list was definitely what was still
commonly called "Formula Ford" (but by the time I got one, officially
called "Formula F" to reflect the /F/ord and Honda /F/it engines that
were legal by then).

I think you established your bonafides. That Arlen is hung up on what
people call BMWs is ridiculous. Who cares.

Post by *Hemidactylus*
I mostly like watching garage shows. There was one focused on modding JDMs.
I actually saw an old Skyline (I assume) a few months back locally with the
driver on the passenger side. Was stock and not modded at all.
I am also at a loss as to why people do the stance car look. Or maybe it’s
more the negative camber thing. Lowering was my thing in the late 80s with
a Nissan pickup (with some subwoofer bass but not competition). But the
camber look makes no sense. I guess every generation tries to be more
ridiculous than the preceding one. The mumble rap makes no sense either and
I grew up on hiphop.

Like in so many things, "stance" is an example of taking something that
does make sense (a certain amount of negative camber DOES enhance
cornering grip) and taking it to ridiculous extremes. Look at any racing
series and you'll see some degree of negative camber on both axles; more
for narrower tires, and less for wider. The tuner crowd just sees that
and turns it up to eleven.

That's probably a part of it, and for drifting, having more negative
camber on the tires probably just makes it easier to get them spinning.

And racing cars and how they function (and consequently their design)

Don't worry Hemidactylus,
I knew you never read their seminal papers, so you have no clue whom they
studied, just like Alan Baker is a liar that he teaches racing since he
doesn't even know the difference between a bimmer and a beamer (which grew
up as racing terms) just as nospam constantly claims imaginary apps for iOS
that don't exist, just as Alan Baker always claims every fact is a lie,
etc.
Hemidactylus, Alan Browne, Snit, Alan Baker, Lewis, nospam, et al.
You iKooks all _hate_ facts.
You iKooks all _fear_ facts, in fact.
Hence, you fear (and hate) anyone who presents facts to an Apple newsgroup.
Yes, I know you iKooks better than you know yourselves, Hemidactylus.
a. None of you iKooks has an IQ that even approaches normal
b. None of you iKooks has any education above high school as a result
c. But worse, you're all completely ignorant of everything you speak about
You have no idea what a quartile is and yet it's used many times in the
seminal D-K papers, Hemidactylus, as it's an important inflection point.
Every one of you strange iKooks owns completely imaginary belief systems.
None of you strange iKooks makes any assessment based on the facts.
*The iKooks is a religious zealot.*
Which, by the way, truth be told, is exactly the reason why Alan Browne
thinks that anyone who is not a religious zealot is an "it", and why Jolly
Roger thinks anyone who is not a religious zealot is a "loser", and why
Alan Baker thinks anyone who is not a religious zealot is "gay", etc.

HINT: Every single person with any skill is on those Dunning-Kruger graphs.

Note that if you don't even know _that_, then you know nothing about D-K.
Which is my point.

You iKooks are so incredibly stupid that you "think" you know everything.
And yet... you know absolutely nothing.

a. Jolly Roger knows nothing about how Apple updates releases.
(but that doesn't stop him from claiming Apple fully updates all)
b. Alan Browne knows nothing about the walled garden.
(but that doesn't stop him from claiming it simply doesn't exist)
c. Alan Baker knows nothing about just about everything.
(but that doesn't stop him from calling absolutely all facts a lie)
etc.

What's no longer shocking about you iKooks, Hemidactylus, is that you are
so very confident that you think you know something - and yet - you know
absolutely nothing.

It's so easy to prove you iKooks know absolutely nothing, Hemidactylus.

Look at this example where Alan Baker claimed header lines can't be changed
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/EiNl6hyMBDo/>

Who is _that_ stupid?
Nobody right?

But you iKooks are.
Alan Baker knows nothing about headers, yet he still confidently claims
(over and over again) that they can't be spoofed. Who is that stupid?

You are the same as Alan Baker, Hemidactylus.

You know nothing about D-K - and that's clearly shown many times over.
And yet, you feel so very confident to claim it's flawed?

What kind of strange person does that, Hemidactylus?

Every iKook tries to make facts go away with their childish taunts.
a. iKook [JR] person calls people "losers" & he thinks that is clever.

c. iKook [Browne] calls people an "it", thinking that's oh so very clever.

I posted multiple links showing the whole concept of D-K itself is flawed
and instead of acknowledging that you march out some trivial graphs and
still cling to the concept. This shows you are an uncritical ideologue. No
surprise there. Itขs like me saying phrenology is flawed and pointing to
some expert debunkings and you asking me to examine a bump on your head
because head bumps are fundamental to understanding your idee fixe of
iKooks.

I have. And where do you think I got the quote: “Participants were 65
Cornell University undergraduates from a variety of courses in psychology
who earned extra credit for their participation” and realized the lemon
juice guy was used merely as an illustrative anecdote. McArthur Wheeler
wasn’t a part of the study as you claimed since he wasn’t one of the
Cornell undergrads. I called you on this ignorant comment “Dunning & Kruger
studied that rather peculiar lemon-juice covered bank robber” and you
lashed out at me.

I also read this, which you as a propagandist will continue to ignore:
https://www.bps.org.uk/psychologist/persistent-irony-dunning-kruger-effect

[quote]“The persistent popularity of the DKE meme may say more about our
psychological foibles than the DKE itself does. Excessive self-confidence
is more noticeable (and objectionable) than excessive modesty, so it may
appear to require a special explanation. Our pattern-seeking minds find it
easier to embrace a causal explanation with a satisfying human story
(‘stupid people are too stupid to know they are stupid’) than an impersonal
statistical force (regression-to-the mean). The causal story is then
protected by a confirmation bias, whereby we count supporting examples in
its favour, whilst explaining away the counter-examples. If we see an
expert wracked by self-doubt, we may attribute this to a different
phenomenon (‘imposter syndrome’), failing to notice that this contradicts
the idea that competence begets self-knowledge.

There is a self-satisfied air of superiority when the DKE is ‘weaponised’
as a way to dismiss the views of others, or to impugn their intelligence.
Calling someone out as a victim of the DKE seems watertight, because any
denials can be taken to confirm the lack of awareness that the insult
implies. But the irony is that to namecheck the DKE in this way shows a
lack of awareness of the evidence, so any air of superiority is only an
illusion.”[end quote]

Let that sink in Arlen. You are a poster boy for namechecking and
weaponizing the DKE. You only illustrate your own ignorance of which you
are ironically very unaware. Why did you not now the DKE had been found
wanting by so many independent researchers? Because you are an empty
propagandist.

You iKooks are perfect examples of those to the left of the first quartile.

"People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities
in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest
that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who
are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only
do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate
choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive
ability to realize it. Paradoxically, improving the skills of
participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence,
helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities."

If you accept, Hemidactylus, that I have higher degrees, you have to
understand how frustrating it is to try to converse with you iKooks.

There's absolutely nothing even slightly complex you iKooks can comprehend.
Nothing.

<https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8992690/>

Do you even read your cites? This one says:
“Our explanation of the DK effect is based on the fact that the data are
bounded. This feature of the data has not received much attention, with the
exception of Burson et al. (2006), who concluded that the boundary
restriction “is an important concern that should be addressed in future
research;” and Krajc and Ortmann (2008), who noted that students in the
bottom quartile can only make optimistic errors placing themselves into a
higher quartile, while students in the top quartile can only make
pessimistic errors placing themselves in a lower quartile.

The remark by Krajc and Ortmann provides the essence of our story. Consider
a brilliant student who typically scores 95 or 99 points out of 100.
Because of the bound at 100, there is not much room to predict higher than
her ability but there is plenty of room to predict lower, so she would
typically predict 85 or 90, thus underestimating her score. The same
happens at the bottom end of the scale, where there is a bound of 0 and a
student would typically overestimate. This simple observation is the basis
of our model.”

And: “In this article, we have attempted to provide an explanation of the
DK effect which does not require any psychological explanation. By
specifying a simple statistical model which explicitly takes the (random)
boundary constraints into account, we achieve a near-perfect fit, thus
demonstrating that the DK effect is a statistical artifact. In other words:
there is an effect, but it does not reflect human nature.”

The abstract says: “An explanation of the Dunning–Kruger effect is provided
which does not require any psychological explanation, because it is derived
as a statistical artifact. This is achieved by specifying a simple
statistical model which explicitly takes the (random) boundary constraints
into account. The model fits the data almost perfectly.”

Again: “does not require any psychological explanation”

If you weren’t so intellectually dishonest you would stop for more than a
brief moment and reflect on this. You can’t because your arrogance prevents
it.

Hi Hemidactylus,

I've been called a lot of things in life, but "gullible" was never one of
those things, so you will be the 1st to claim that it's me who is gullible.

Given you "said" you read (and understood) the seminal D-K papers, then
that means you'll easily be able to answer this, the most basic question:

Q: *Where do _you_ think iKooks fit on the D-K quartile sections?*

Unlike you I don't interpret these papers as Holy Gospel.

You're missing the point. Which I knew from the start.
Because you never read a word of the seminal D-K papers, Hemidactylus.

We're talking about iKooks, right?
And we're discussing the iKooks in terms of D-K quartiles, right?

Where do _you_ think all the iKooks fit in the D-K quartiles Hemidactylus?

I am skeptical and in Popperian fashion think sacred cows need to
stand up to rigid treatment.

I had to look up what "Popperian fashion" means... do you mean Carl Popper?
<https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/popper/>
<https://iep.utm.edu/pop-sci/>
<https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Popperian>
etc.

So I have gone much further than you in my intellectual
development and seen the emperor may not have clothes.

OK. Good. That's great. You're much smarter than I am, Hemidactylus.
Fine. So be it. Billions of people are smarter than I am, so that's OK.

I'll accept your claim of supreme excellence, a priori.

So answer the question then...
Q: *Where do _you_ think iKooks fit on the D-K quartile sections?*

The DK effect appears as an artifact. We are pattern seeking creatures.

Given (based on your own high self assessment) that you're so enlightened,
tell us Hemidactylus where on the graphs do you think all the iKooks fit?
