Let's recall the facts. You made the ridiculous claim that Maddow could not - if her life depended on it - get a PhD in physics. Why would this clearly smart, clearly dedicated person have a PhD be so fundamentally incapable? She made a minor logic error. Since I, and my entire friend group at the time were all math and physics PhDs I corrected you on your ridiculous claim.
The quote that I think you must be (incorrectly) referring to, is this: " I'd suggest your series of basic errors here is much more disqualifying of you from being able to do a math phd as Maddow is from her error." The point, of course, wasn't that you were more or less likely to get a PhD in math than her, but that claiming someone absolutely couldn't based on occasional every day probability error is terrible.
So....uh....kinda hilarious that your misinterpretation of my response to your hilariously terrible claim - that maddow couldn't get a phd in physics if her life depended on it - is what caused you to write me off.
Sick bump, ldo.
You're a very smart poster, no doubt. But Rachel Maddow the anchor could not get a PhD to save her life imhe.
