Sorry for the confusion. Though, it is a mango tree in a mango garden! The continued development and maintenance of plotnine is supported by Posit, PBC, the same company behind the Tidyverse.
Plotnine uses other packages in the scientific Python ecosystem. That is probably where the abbreviations that irk you come from. In some cases those "abbreviations" have roots 20 years deep!
May be strange at a first glance but binary/boolean logic/reasoning/quantification is just a special case of probability theory. This is covered exhaustively in Probability Theory: The Logic Science, by E.T Jaynes.
And so "tend" and "iron law" are interpreted as assertions of different levels of certainty, where "tend" implies a certainty greater than 50% and "iron law" a certainty closer to 100%.
Given that Chroloquine has been around for a long time and that it is well studied, is there any merit to assume that using it was not a random idea and that it works against some other known RNA viruses?
Water is a good insulator, but not a perfect insulator. If the temperature difference between the bottom and top changes so does the heat transfer and given time the effects will spread. But most important is, warm water/moisture is less dense than cooler water, that means large heat transfer by convection currents in addition to the low conduction (inverse of insulation).
It seems unethical if you do it by gene drive. But what if you add some natural randomness to the process and other desirable objectives. Imagine a dating service with a DNA database and you can match up people whose offspring could potentially be very subservient.
What if the full effect is expected after matching 5 generations of people?
What if the real goal is to create a fraction of people more attentive to minding about the environment and total blissful subservience is just a bi-product? For the good of the human race!
