So lets not fall into some revisionist history where I just randomly pick on people like a bully for posting things. If you post something that is absurd and factually wrong (Yuban is great coffee), I will probably mock you. If you insist you are correct and layer a smattering of logical fallacies in an effort to save your e-dap, I'll probably consider it an open invitation to relentlessly needle your views and engage in light hearted trolling. (Maybe mean spirited at some points? Hard to tell. I'm probably too much of an empty vessel to really notice even.)
Nope you started with some **** about 3rd world country blah blah.
Anyways Mr. Lologician, when you overestimate the reduction in error of a COMPLEX system you don't even understand and only on the input side and although the system works clockwork yet there is a lot of variability over shorter periods of time, then no, you cannot improve your accuracy by being more precise with something that will not have an affect on that accuracy (results) the way you think it will.
The problem being your measurement of the result aka weight lost will not be accurate no matter how precisely you calculated the dumb calories you are counting. Reduction of error in actual weight loss will take you at least a month of taking data at least 2x daily and probably eating the same thing will help, then reverse calculating to see how much over or under you were eating.
This is highly debatable and not as black and white as you make it seem because this is your tendency - to take a very specific issue that has complexity and seeing it only through a rule that is true only if your measurements and knowledge of the system are spot on.
reduction in error at input is reduction in overall error. Yea that's bait.
Why am i even talking to you. Go sip a Jack D snort ritalin or whatever it is you do. Joke about someone's death, be sarcastic about it and then tell someone you do it behind the back anyways - what a wasteman! Classless
No esteem in your group mate, only a steaming hot pile of horse****.
