The science of opinion ...

"...lack of documentation of the procedure followed in its experiments."

Now, you are talking.

I am still hoping to read about methods used to achieve what teo_audio stated about horses being taught to use calculator.

Also I was under the district impression horses can speak but that might be due to too much TV. That’s pretty interesting if horses really can use a hand calculator you know, since they don’t have hands. Do they use hoof calculators? Maybe I’m wrong about this thread not being educational.

Not every thread gets derailed. This one has such a broad and open topic that many things could fit.

There are more focused threads where you can get real answers to real questions and in which, even with occassional humor, it stays usefully focused.

Threads like this are more like a bar where you can vent and go home afterwards. How much harm is done?

geoffkait,

teo_audio already clarified that one. He/they started using smaller calculators for hummingbirds. There was a problem with horses. Which makes me question his initial statement about Ethan Winer's use of calculators.

I just tried using my calculator with my feet but it definitely didn’t work. That’s the way of science, right? You experiment.  But who knows, maybe I’m doing it wrong.
