If lukeprog does not use the word rationality in a post, is it rational? I suppose that depends on what you mean when you say rationality. If by rationality do you mean a lukeprog post that would, if read aloud, produce acoustic vibrations in the air that an intelligent agent would concede as rational, or do you mean the brainstate invoked in an agent while it is deliberately maximizing expected utility?
The talk title is Probability, not Rationality.
Gack! Fixed.
Perhaps it was a Freudian slip?
If the post’s title didn’t have the word ‘rationality’ in it, how would you know whether it had anything to do with rationality?
How is that connected with paper-machine’s comment?
Edit: Uhh… it’s an honest question.

I understand neither head nor tail of this comment.
I’m re-reading A Human’s Guide to Words and was just making a joke based on this
EDIT: Because, as Discworld taught me, it’s not a good joke unless you need footnotes to explain it.
I thought it was funny.
