You might want to post this on the hpmor subredit page instead - or in the latest open thread. I don't, however, think that a top-level discussion post is necessary for this.
In any case, Snape saying that the number of valence electrons of carbon is a meaningless fact is weak evidence that he didn't read it in Harry's mind.
Thank you. So, I posted this as a top-level discussion post? What I did is more the kind of thing I should reserve for more substantial posts?
I understand the hpmor subredit, but what do you mean by the latest open thread? Just comment on a recent post in LessWrong discussion? Or forego so doing in favor of finding one specifically about HPMOR?
Thanks again
Open threads are ones wherein they say something like 'ask any question'.
Gotcha.
So I should have checked for one of those (are they very common?) or created my own.
I just checked, there's one open for this week.
I believe there is an 'ask stupid questions' thread for each month, and some other open threads. I'm not sure if you can make open threads yourself, but they're fairly common.
I think there's an open thread once or twice a month. Also, IMO this post would go better in an open thread than a stupid questions thread; the stupid questions thread is for sharing advice.
Actually the convention is to have a weekly Open Thread. It is usually created by the first person wanting to post an open question when the old thread has expired. That can be you, but please make it run exactly 7 days otherwise you will called to order.
Seems like it would be weak evidence in the other direction... if he thinks it's a useless fact, why does he have it memorized?
