wow she is really civil and lucid in her responses to your questions. It's a model response to hostile questions. Honestly it gave me a much better impression of her.
I think she understands summation. That's just very odd notation. Vibes are off. I agree. I appreciate her replies. Don't agree with petitions like that, but that seems relatively unrelated.
Good article. The intentional move to a merit-free academia needs to be vigorously called out.
Her responses are fair. I love that she did respond. Yet it is remarkable that she is so clearly weak in math, as she admits. One can memorize one's way through calc and linear algebra without understanding. When I was a physics major GT 20 years ago, econ majors kicked butt in math classes, were serious competition. No more?
(Aside: What astonishes me is the original typo on the NASA ... button? beer coaster?
When my Dad worked on the first moon landings at RCA for NASA, they had a policy called Zero Defects, memorable to my young, impressionable mind. The idea was that mistakes were not acceptable in this venture, that this was a priority.
A "beer coaster" is not the moon landing, yet it signals how far NASA has fallen. Guessing SpaceX would not have made this boo-boo.)
Back on track. Great article, great mission, great guerilla action. Go get 'em all!
Signing the Uhlig petition shows she has no appreciation whatsoever for academic freedom, but her responses here were indeed good. I don't fault her for getting mixed up in math notation. In general, people shouldn't take off-the cuff remarks or tweets or blogposts too seriously (that is one bad feature of the Uhlig petition). Scholars should no more have to be careful in their conversation than other people, so long as they're willing to say they're wrong. It's like worrying about typos in an email--- not a healthy signalling equilibrium, because it's not efficientt o spend the effort.

Yup, she doesn't know \Sigma

love the assertive communication on all sides, am I seeing the -66 rep score right in your screenshot? How do you earn that?
