mahhy	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:44:00 - [181] Originally by: TheMiner But I CAN tell you that the English system of miles, feet, and inches SUCKS compared to the metric system. Thats just a fact. Why? What proves that as a fact? Personally I prefer metric versus imperial, but the point of this entire argument is simply: whatever you're used to is best for you. Not better than other ways categorically, just better for you. What you stated above is not a fact, its an opinion. I would guess it would be impossible to PROVE one systems superiority over anothers. If anyone can suggest a method to do so without resorting to any sort of "its easier this way" mumbo jumbo, please do so. Ease of use all depends on the persons experience with said system. Silly arguement really. Fun, but silly.

Scorpyn	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:44:00 - [183] Originally by: Feyd Darkholme ... So I'm sitting here reading the first page of this thread thinking to myself, "Six pages, they can't all be bashing each others countries and arguing about punctuations..."... Turn right to page six, and sure enough... Yeah, it got silly already back on page 1... I don't know why I bother with even reading this...

Moneta	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:46:00 - [189] I am clearly superior to you all. Well, maybe not, but at least I realised by page 2 that the whole grounds for this discussion is not decimal points v comma's or something but your interpretation of the term inferior One of you is using it as describing the efficiency of a system, where the other is using it as describing the moral or cultural value of a system. Morally, there is no inferiority. Efficiencywise there is. Originally by: Aneu Angellus Iv held back from posting on this thread for quite some time, but i think the time had come for me to come in and post. Aneu

Meehan	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:47:00 - [191] Originally by: TheMiner Why? Is being highly educated a "good" thing or something? Are you saying being highly educated is "better" than not being highly educated? Can one school system be "better" than another? Evidently, yes. And with that I have a few miles in the track to attend. Good day to you

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:47:00 - [195] Edited by: TheMiner on 13/10/2004 09:50:37 Originally by: mahhy . I would guess it would be impossible to PROVE one systems superiority over anothers. If anyone can suggest a method to do so without resorting to any sort of "its easier this way" mumbo jumbo, please do so. Hey.. I want you to PROVE to me that 7.0 is a higher number than 6.0 ..... But no using "becasue it has a greater value" or "its higher on a number line" mumbo jumbo. Please do so.

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:51:00 - [199] Originally by: Moneta Morally, there is no inferiority. Efficiencywise there is. PERFECT! I will win with this one for sure! Listen. Lets say there are 2 cars (A and B) and a set of judges who are judging how good the cars are on "color" "speed" and "price(lowest)." Both cars are 100% equal in color and speed, but car B has a lower price than car A. Do you not think that the judges would pick car B as the winner? So there are 2 systems. Both are equal "morally" but one is superior in "effeciency." Which is better? OWNED!

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:53:00 - [205] Originally by: Meehan Sigh... there's a difference between linguistics and physics, kiddo. You are trying to use silly concepts which DO NOT APPLY to this conversation AT ALL in an attempt to take peoples minds from what we are REALLY taling about. It is VERY VERY simple: 9869409456 is inferior to 9,869,409,456 for general use.

TheMiner	Posted - 2004.10.13 09:58:00 - [209] "I am not not not not not not not not going to eat cake." and "I am going to eat cake." both mean the same thing...but one is clearly an inferior way of expressing it. One has a greater chance of causing confusion than the other. One takes time to read through to get the precise meaning. EXACT same thing with 43985893598 and 43,985,893,598.
