@SHamiltonian We have not been trained to communicate clearly with words because we have been trained to communicate clearly with math. That doesn’t necessarily prove words are necessarily less rigorous than math. I think there is some sort of selection bias at play here.

@SHamiltonian If a given field has a strong culture of rigorous analysis, I’m not sure *how* it communicates is an indicator of scientific rigor. Plus math puts technical constraints that can also reduce the set of accessible research questions, and create blind spots.Permalink

@SHamiltonian I’m not disputing math increase the "internal consistency" (I don’t have an opinion on that), but I’m pretty sure having a reduced set of accessible research questions does not go in favor of "more rigor"Permalink
