> This is basically an article describing <snip hot take>

This is entirely wrong and missing basic high school mathematics for non-theater kids.

The original claim is not archived, if you can be bothered you can track it down and do the correct 'hot take'. You can't just grab the first statistical principal you think of even if everyone else on Hacker News does.

Article - "it violates the likelihood principle", this seems wrong and Nakamura seems right, but you'd have to look at the original claim.

They were finding patterns in a long biased list of numbers, probably.
