On: Two physicists who correctly predicted the mass of Higgs boson [video]

I think I actually disagree with Gandhi here. Lol. There are a lot of people that do the work. The numbers of those who take the credit are much less. However, there is usually a power imbalance that yields to their ability to do so. So it's not about numbers. It's about power.

I think that's still consistent though. Lots of people try to take credit, only a few succeed. There is no shortage of work to be done, so there is enough room for everyone to do work.

Ghandi did not say half the people do the work and half the people take the credit, which is what it sounds like your disagreement is with.

And of course, many binary segmentations work well for most cases and fail in unusual cases that can generally ignored.

You failed to understand the hilarious facets of Indira Gandhi's quote.

I'd explain why your informal fallacy is off-topic, but am rather focused on goldfish crackers and jellybeans at the moment.

Have a Gloriously wonderful day =)

Why on Earth would you go to such an effort to tell someone they're wrong without even bothering to share your own knowledge?

[Joel_Mckay → AussieWog93]

Its funnier to people that get the ironic context, and I only answer questions from abusive people if paid.

Also, goldfish crackers... nom... nom... nom...

Have a great day, and no more hints. =P

People who do the work aren't necessarily competing with each other.

People who take the credit are, almost by definition, competing with each other.

For every Elon Musk there are hundreds or even thousands of engineers with actual degrees and experience relevant to the thing that was built.

[bjornsing → babypuncher]

And yet Elon outcompeted them all… ;)

"For every Elon Musk" Finally confirming he is a clone and or a robot...

Sure this is shocking news, but hardly surprising given the shift in behavior of late. =)
