That a theoretical limit cannot be found in practice, doesn't mean it isn't an important benchmark. Take Newton's law of universal gravity. for example. Considerable advances in our understanding of gravity were made by considering a law where two bodies interact in a theoretical limit where they are unconstrained by other bodies. Of course, in reality, Newt ...[text shortened]... rained scenario but the theoretical approximation was not rendered meaningless because of it.

Originally posted by PalynkaIf you use people's unconstrained goal-directed adaptive behaviour as a measurement of intelligence, you need a time constraint to be able to compare people. If two people were given the objective to get a Ph.D in economics, and one did it in three years and the other 30, both would reach their objective. However, you need to compare time spent on an objective and not just the end-product. Hence a time constraint variable is needed to benchmark intelligence.
What do you mean by time constraint variable?
EDIT: Maybe it's just a time variable, but it still beckons the question of who would decide that time variable?

EDIT: Is that time spent on a certain objective or days spent in generel?

Anyway, did you like the game last night? I guess somebody had to like the Polish clown act.

British team lost, blame the ref? Yawn.
is it also 'italian team lost, blame ref... yawn?'
i didn't care about the result of either match but both were pretty shocking referring. especially the klose winner.

That said the standard in the EPL isn't much better.

Originally posted by Lundosthe standard of referring globally is quite poor. there's just too much money involved in the game to allow human error as a factor... look at ireland, ref or assistant ref sees henry's hand ball, it goes to pens and ireland win. mega bucks for the irish fa and economy.

it really is a joke, klose was a metre offside.. how he didn't see that is beyond me.
how much longer does injustices like this have to occur before fifa brings in technology aids?

Originally posted by LundosIt was entertaining but awful in terms of football played. We played miserably (apart from the first 10 minutes) and were lucky that Arsenal was not only equally miserable but had a circus act in goal. Too much space, yet full of passing errors. Teams were spread out across the whole field (0 offsides!) and tactics were out of the window.

Strange game, but 3 weeks is enough time for both teams to get their acts reasonably together.
