> You're being obtuse.. It's cringe that you're appealing to your mathematics degree which you think makes you an authority on epidemiology
Do you know what epidemiology is? Do you know what applied computational mathematics is? Do you know what mathematical and computational biology is?
Yes. I'm appealing to my extensive study and my research on epidemiology.
> And the other commenter needs to cite sources because they don't have a flair?
The other commenter made many dubious and questionable claims. Asking them to prove said claims instead of accepting them as fact is prudent and proper for scientific discussion.
> I think you'd be surprised how many flairless ppl have "proven education".. so yeah, cringe
Then these people should be able to back up their assertions and claims. As all of us have had to do.

Dude, just stop.. you know damn well that an applied mathematics degree doesn't make you a subject matter expert in any field that happens to enploy applied mathematics.. Are you also an expert on structural engineering and genomics?
>Yes. I'm appealing to my extensive study and my research on epidemiology.
..and that a masters degree hardly qualifies as "extensive research". I'm not saying you haven't done but that's hardly self-evident from your flair, mate.

Yeah, and noone said it wasn't, it's the fact that you think you're exempt from it that's weird

Except from you apperently

Do you know what applied computational mathematics actually is?
> Are you also an expert on structural engineering and genomics?
Structural engineering and genomics aren't epidemiology. Nor are they even remotely as specifically based on dynamical systems.
> ..and that a masters degree hardly qualifies as "extensive research".
Uh-huh. I just had to write a masters thesis on the subject. I guess I didn't do any research at all. Right?
> I'm not saying you haven't done but that's hardly self-evident from your flair, mate.
Unless you understand the field, and what it is.
> Yeah, and noone said it wasn't, it's the fact that you think you're exempt from it that's weird
What specific claims did I make that required me to cite/prove because they were beyond baseline knowledge of the subject?
> Except from you apperently
I repeat my previous question.

Yes, I did my second masters in computational chemical engineering.. but I'm not continuing this silly conversation, I'm cringing at myself for even engaging w you

Which is not even remotely the same at all. It's funny you think it is though.
