Exactly. The abstract essentially says “these people make for great employees for X Y Z reasons, but many people look at that and come up with conspiracy theories based on it”. Then the Parent says “look the research agrees with me!”

Do we have evidence these people did fellowship together?

Anywhere I can read more about this float accumulation with 2’s complement?

Sure, when comparing 0’s to anything else. But what about normal distribution to uniform in 0,1? The author hand waves something about signs but it’s not very well reasoned - that’s just a single bit in floats.

And what of the Pi test - I’d expect that to flip many more bits than the 1-bit one.

But why do we expect random data to result in more bit flips? That seems harder to argue than the mechanics of a basic branch prediction system.

My friend drunk drove and crashed, the cop —correctly— gave him a long talk about how that’s a bad call, then let him off. Does that mean drunk driving is now legal?

If you tell the TSA you’re a sovereign citizen for 15 minutes they’re legally required to let you fly.

LGB is closer - but that has its own aliasing issues.
