Quote (didymos @ Mar. 31 2011,13:28) | I liked this part of PaV's post:
Quote | So, using the “metric” of CSI, we would conclude that neither of the strings is “designed”. This turns out to be wrong; BUT, it is NOT a false positive, which would render CSI suspect, and of limited use. |
Oh, it's definitely not a false positive. CSI still failed to give you the right answer. Dumbass.
ETA: Also, he's basically just doing a straight bit-length count. Any genuinely random bit-string of 500 digits would break the so-called "UPB" and thus give a false positive. I repeat: dumbass. |
Which, I might add, plays right into Mathgrrl's hand. She specifically asked about CSI with regard to a gene duplication, way back when on the original thread. Calculating CSI in such a manner can only lead to the conclusion that known evolutionary mechanism, like a gene duplication, can create CSI.
Is PaV really so stupid to go back to that?
