That's weird then, I don't really see Alan as the kind of person who'd gloss over something so obvious, especially after what he told about how it is basically the very thing that drives his lifetime of work...
... Not to forget his remark about the philosopher who got the number of teeth women have wrong. You're just insulting yourself if you make a similar mistake anywhere during the rest of your talk, lol.
I don't know what you're referring to with "the philosopher getting women's number of teeth wrong". Aristotle did get it wrong. There are scholarly work exploring why he got it wrong. Or am I just completely missing your point?
I forgot Aristotle's name, and I was in Mobile so I couldn't watch the video to look it up.
My point was, making an example out of Aristotle's mistake is only "legitimate" if you yourself don't make any major mistakes in your talk. Ie, if Alan's wrong about the 0.23%, and then makes fun of Aristotle for getting a number wrong, them you're [Alan] just making a fool yourself.
I don't question at all that Aristotle got the number of teeth wrong, lol.
