Wanted: a visual debugger for academic texts

@bthall You mean a latex debugger?

@freemo Nope: for arguments

@bthall @freemo also bad statistics

@bthall @freemo e.g.: you're using xy method but your input is ab. i think what you're actually trying to do is smooth out your graph so your hypothesis looks correct.

@meena @freemo Could you please explain that last sentence some more? I'm not following how it relates to those before it [my limited programming knowledge might be why] 😥

@bthall @freemo and i'm not a statistics person 😅 so i hope i didn't go too much overboard here…

often someone will use a very very specific statistical method even tho that's not something you'd usually use for such a use-case. e.g.: it doesn't fit the "input" (number of people analysed / number of people of actually matching) so that the results you've found will still somehow fit your initial hypothesis.

hope that makes it more clearer.
