You have a repeated pattern of not offering real responses: "Is this a parody?" "Is this?" being the biggest red flag I've encountered in this thread.

It's as real a response as the question it's a response to and I give a substantive response to Nisan's more substantive sentence.

You are correct that I didn't have a refutation, because "I don't see how this ties in to the weasels" doesn't give me enough information to try and resolve your confusion.

You could give some indication of what addition information would help. Here are some possibilities:

1) You didn't get what the weasels were referring to. Arguably I should have linked to this comment in the great-grandparent, but since the comment in question is yours, I assumed you'd get the reference.

2) You think the technique does in fact address the weasel example, in that case you could have said so as well as possibly how you think it applies.

3) Something I haven't thought of.
