Notes 9/11:
- Finding pheasant on a foxhunt. Hunters at a foxhunt first release a fox they’ve already captured, then track it down and bring it home. Research projects that follow that model waste your time.
- Don’t go looking for something in a research paper that you know is there. Make a hypothesis as ridiculous as you can. Add your contribution, do not just add sources that agree with your hypothesis.
- Why is there no such thing as an empty bottle of scotch? Can’t be empty and be a bottle of scotch. Language precision is important and really sketchy.
- Elevator riddle instructions
- Ant hypothesis, studying ants and you noticed that they have no trouble finding their way back to the nest regardless of how far afield they wander. Sometimes you can’t do it with statistics and resort to analogies.
- Hypothesis makes a claim of what you want to prove or disprove.
Counterintuitive Fall 2024 
I see what you’re doing here, and I appreciate the effort, ILoveMe5, but this is not where Class Notes belong, and I don’t want your classmates to think that it is.
Please do me the big favor of copying and pasting these Notes (and the Notes from 2 other classes) as Replies to the appropriate daily Agenda pages for the three classes?
I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you. —DSH
