Talk:Fuzzy math

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How do I make this neutral? Do I figure out which candidate was really right, and prove this? Or would that be an attempt to be "objective"? --Math Teacher 13:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Somebody needs to make another run at this article. It needs a little more context. It should make clear higher up when or where the debate took place and that it was broadcast. It does not really explain the background for the issue. It doesn't explain that "fuzzy math" used in this context is some sort of play on the technical phrase "fuzzy logic" or perhaps a malapropism. (It might also be an intentional malapropism -- you can never tell whether Bush is being insincerely folksy or being an actual moron.) It needs to discuss a few important persons' reactions to the debate. The format needs a complete cleanup. The transcript section seems to be an undigested cut and paste from somewhere with some extraneous irrelevant header material. Also, don't assume the reader is in the U.S. Deciding who is right is the least of our problems. It is not necessary to make a conclusion as to who is right. Such a conclusion is not prohibited either, if it can be "objectively" supported. Distinguish in your "rightness" determination between the truth value of the statements and the wisdom of the fiscal policies. Right or wrong, who is more persuasive? Hard to be objective and encyclopedic on these issues, but not impossible. Mrees1997 00:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I am actually almost insulted at the size of this article. This fails to describe in detail the actual context of fuzzy math. Also, it does not mention the significant opposition to this technique. As to the debate- it looks now as if there is no real bias toward one side of the other. As stated above, it needs to be made again. Squarethecircle 02:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

You sound more familiar with this subject than I (I've basically only heard the name). How about drafting up a new article? !jim 04:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Presidential Election

The bit about the presidential election doesn't sound at all related to the math teaching system. If it is related, some kind of clarification needs to be added to show that they were talking about the teaching system. If not, this section should removed or moved to a different article. !jim 04:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
