Reply to comment by Clean-Inevitable538 in The big data delusion – the more data we have, the harder it is to find meaningful patterns in the world. by IAI_Admin

As a layman your supposed alternative interpretation of the article’s arguments makes them sound quite simplistic and not at all difficult to understand. Reductive even. Which makes me suspect your suggestion that OP didn’t understand the article came directly from your butthole.

  1. Ok, you’ve just claimed the opposite of what OP claimed, and provided far less evidence (ie none) to back it up compared to what OP provided.

  2. This sounds like it has nothing to do with having more or less data.

  3. Ditto

I am a layman as well but as far as I understand the article, as it talks about meaning and relation, variance mentioned by the commentor is not relevant. And I can see how it can be misconstrued as relevant when talking about meaning. It depends if meaningfull is understood as data extrapolation itself or its corelation to factual aplication.
