Here's a look at how much time President Biden and Donald Trump spent attacking and talking over each other during this year’s first presidential debate. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
How did you measure this? Really someone sat there with a stop watch and tracked time? Live? On the fly?
Or did you rerun and stop-watched it?
And when does a sentence venture from attacking to non attacking?
Very interesting epistemology!
Not that I don’t find the intention interesting - I do!
But essentially this is social science - and empirical study mostly is underestimated in complexity. Therefore, I believe, they “cheated”, mostly because you had to clarify first what an attack etc. is and what is not. 🤷🏼♂️
Lots of grey areas.
