Stop spamming this garbage thread, retarded ratings-inflator.
Zachary Diaz
what did i inflate?
Angel Scott
7/10 "decent" 6/10 "meh"
You rate music like IGN rates video games.
Benjamin Hughes
sorry I don't read IGN
do you mean ratings deflation?
Noah Powell
If "decent" for most people is a 5 or 6, and you consider "decent" to be 7, you are inflating the value of "decent" by ascribing a higher numerical value than is appropriate. Deflation would be the opposite.

Yeah silly me, I assume that most people aren't mentally retarded

Kayden Diaz
Silly retard, nobody said anything about objectivity ITT until you brought it up
Matthew Garcia
>Silly retard, nobody said anything about objectivity ITT until you brought it up Then how can you know "decent" for most people is a 5 or 6 and that it's not just your personal bias?
Carter Sullivan
Silly retard, your use of the word "most" completely invalidates your attempt to bring up objectivity

Something I've always found funny is that the only people I've ever seen use the word "ableism" are able-bodied white women who have never worked (or spoken, really) with the seriously disabled in their life.
Joshua Cruz
5/10 is very obviously average I don't know what he's talking about "most people" because "most people" view 7/10 as average (probably taking cues from C average grades) hence the IGN comparison because they do the same. But 5/10 is objectively average regardless of what people think.
Bentley Phillips
>But 5/10 is objectively average regardless of what people think. Which average? mean, median, mode?
Hudson Mitchell
with 5/10 set to average, you get half of the scale worse and half of the scale better
Alexander Thompson

Luis Turner
Never taken a class on statistics before?
Juan Bell
I have, actually. The median value denotes an equal chance of falling on either side of said value without regard to the qualities of those values.
w.r.t. statistics, "mean" is synonymous with "average". While the median can also happen to be the average, this is not necessarily so.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that "half of the scale worse and half of the scale better" was a mistake, but you're both wrong.
Would you like to keep going ?
Zachary Harris
why not? The more ratings you do the more your scale will approach a bell curve and at that point all three will be equal
>The more ratings you do the more your scale will approach a bell curve and at that point all three will be equal That's a strange assumption on the distribution of the quality of albums
Bentley Johnson
You just posted exactly what I said.
Charles Reed
Do you have trouble reading friend?
> In statistics, mean, median, and mode are all known as measures of central tendency, and in colloquial usage sometimes any of these might be called an average value.
Jose Bell
So is assuming that most are inherently good or bad. In any case, assuming most are middle of the road i.e. dead center on a scale allows you to use full range of the scale with more finess on rating albums you like AND albums you dislike.
Jonathan Richardson
>attempt to create an academic context for a conversation by bringing up statistics courses >attempt to change course by citing "colloquial" language existing outside aforesaid academic context
No dissonance here, no sir !
Logan Mitchell
You are one of the worst, most pretentious trips on this board. Fuck off.
Luis Gomez
>assuming most are middle of the road i.e. dead center on a scale allows you to use full range of the scale with more finess on rating albums you like AND albums you dislike. that's assuming there's as many on each side, but why? it's less important to finesse low ratings
Matthew Green
You always try to engage in these pseudo arguments to seem smart. You're literally arguing about nothing with strangers on the internet. Jesus.
Aaron Morgan
I don't believe that you know what that word means :o)
Nicholas Hughes
>>attempt to create an academic context for a conversation by bringing up statistics courses Because you don't seem like the type of person to learn statistics outside of an academic context
>>attempt to change course by citing "colloquial" language existing outside aforesaid academic context We're still on the same course
Dominic Thompson
So you don't need 0/10-6.9/10 for trash to below decent It would actually be better if you have 2/10 as decent then the rest of the scale to rank your favorites.
Jackson Edwards
Noone who is pretentious has the self-awareness to admit to it. Read over the things you write and if you can't see that you're a total jackass then you're blind.
Brayden Barnes
>So you don't need 0/10-6.9/10 for trash to below decent Why not?
>It would actually be better if you have 2/10 as decent then the rest of the scale to rank your favorites. several dictionaries define decent as 'fairly good', there's not enough room for 8 tiers of finesse in those ratings
Caleb Smith
>always try Calm down, soyboy. >pseudo arguments I admit when I'm wrong, it just doesn't appear to happen often. Probably because I don't intentionally argue about things I don't know anything about. You guys might learn something from that.
>attempt to into semantics >cannot into semantics Attempting to create a context for the word "median" (as learned through statistics) necessitates the academic definition for median which I already posted. Once it became clear that I knew the definition (because you learn it in the fucking second grade), you attempted to cite "sometimes colloquial" use of the word which by definition exists outside of the context in which you had already brought up. This is either dishonest or ignorant, I don't care much which.
You know, you can always just filter me and stop shitposting if I make you so upset. You don't need to follow me around :o)
Dominic Taylor
You said it yourself, it's less important to finesse low ratings. You don't need over half of the scale to rate albums you don't like and squish the albums you DO like up top.
Josiah Rogers
>Attempting to create a context for the word "median" (as learned through statistics) necessitates the academic definition for median which I already posted. Once it became clear that I knew the definition (because you learn it in the fucking second grade), you attempted to cite "sometimes colloquial" use of the word which by definition exists outside of the context in which you had already brought up. Of course I need to bring up an "academic context" to see if you even know what the word meant. How can you use the word colloquially if it's not even defined?
Alexander Stewart
>You said it yourself, it's less important to finesse low ratings. Right, which is why they're all in the You don't need over half of the scale to rate albums you don't like and squish the albums you DO like up top. In what way are they 'squished'?

This is the first time that I've replied to you. I've seen on two seperate occasions that people have said almost the same thing i have. And they weren't being vicious for the sake of it. You obviously think very highly of yourself. I don't come to Sup Forums much anymore but idk, someone struck me when I saw your posts. How old are you? 18-21?
Jaxson Brown

To simplify further, let's put it this way. The definition of "median" is different within the different contexts we use it (obviously). So... formal / academic context: median means the definition here >The median value denotes an equal chance of falling on either side of said value without regard to the qualities of those values informal / colloquial context: median means the same as above, with the addition of _sometimes_ also being able to be substituted for the word "average"
With no condescension, I think that this is going over your head.
Do you need to talk about it ?
Colton Gonzalez
Wrong, Anthony Fantano said it once in one of his meme videos
Landon Stewart
Because you only have 7-10/10 to rate albums you like. I mean sure you can rate those in a rather uninflated way (not just throwing out 10/10s willy-nilly) but at that point I don't see why you wouldn't just put "decent" at a lower number and just have fun with it.
Anyway y'all I gotta go to bed. Regardless of if I'm "right" or you're "right" I have to end the conversation here. Not trying to totally disrespectfully deflect your points at all or anything.
Aaron Kelly
>I've ever seen
Blake Murphy
Fair enough, I guess you're right. Sorry for being a dick.
William Allen
>Which is why you attempted to establish that I knew irrelevant information (the definition outside of colloquial context), right ? How can a word be used colloquially if you don't know the definition of the word to begin with?

Noah Baker
>How can a word be used colloquially if you don't know the definition of the word to begin with? Is this a serious question ? It happens frequently and with great ease- this is actually how language typically evolves !
>But these definitions are the same Incorrect. The formal definition is prescriptive (this is what the word means whether used correctly or not) while the informal definition is descriptive (this is how the word is used outside of formal context where language is not regulated).
The formal definition is rigidly defined while the informal definition changes with use.
TO SIMPLIFY EVEN FURTHER: Formal: Definition "A" Informal: Definition "A"+ definition "B" The difference between the two is definition "B" (sometimes used to mean "average") Because there is a difference between the two, they are not the same.
QED
Dylan Rodriguez
>Is this a serious question ? Yes
>Incorrect. but you said it yourself, "median means the same as above". "also being able to be substituted for the word "average"" doesn't change the meaning of the word median

Justin Lee
The conversational function of a word _IS_ the meaning of the word, dingus. The word exists as it is used within the contexts people use it.
You do not know what you are talking about.
Matthew Bennett
What additional meaning does [_sometimes_ also being able to be substituted for the word "average"] give to median? Using the word median instead of average doesn't change the meaning of median
Adrian Morris
>What additional meaning does [_sometimes_ also being able to be substituted for the word "average"] give to median? You serious nigga ?

Brayden Moore
>Idk man, I explained it step by step here Nothing in that post is a candidate for additional meaning given to median by [_sometimes_ also being able to be substituted for the word "average"]. If anything that adds meaning to the word average, since it allows it to mean the median, which was how it was used the first time in this thread.
Isaac Foster
>Nothing in that post is a candidate for additional meaning Incorrect. See >Informal: Definition "A"+ definition "B" Definition "B" contains within it an expansion of the parameters for Definition "A". If A and A+B do not communicate the same exact meaning, then they have different meanings.
