Help request.
I am looking for an article/posting that I once read, the topic of which was reasoning about continuums , like Less Wrong’s Fallacy of Grey . I think I originally found the article through a link on Less Wrong but I have been unable to locate it.
Any suggestions?
There are a few links on the wiki. If none of them is what you’re after, could you possibly say a little more about what was in the article you’re looking for? (Was it, e.g., making the same sort of point as Eliezer’s “Fallacy of Gray”, or disagreeing with it, or saying some completely different thing about “continuous thinking”?)
The article listed 8 or so common errors in reasoning about continuums. The article was rather clever in its use of categories and naming and also gave excellent examples. I want to use it as an aid in teaching/explaining rather than in self-learning.
