Credit Card Doug


The thing is, we belong in because the selection committee determined we did. That’s a fact. “We didn’t deserve to make it because we got extra credit for Buffalo and lost to Wake and OK State deserved it” is Doug’s butthurt, biased opinion. Learn the difference Doug, you bricklaying bitter moron.
 

That’s beyond stupid, and exactly what I would expect from an Oklahoma State grad. There’s no congruency here. OF COURSE deserving at-large teams lose. One team loses every single game, and some games have two at-large teams. Winning to some degree shows you belong. Losing doesn’t really show that you don’t belong.

Exactly. That's the argument. If we didn't make the tourney, we didn't belong in. The rules everyone goes by is there's a committee that decides who's in. Doug can THINK we didn't deserve it but he's not on the committee.

This is where he fails to take into account the reality that 34 teams *have* to lose their first game. A team can still be one of the 68 most deserving team in the nation and lose. Winning, however, proves that the team is reasonably capable of defeating tourney-quality teams. That argument is especially true when it's repeated (3x so far and 4x in our most recent trip to the FF).

That false conparison is where Doug's desperate attempt to not look foolish runs out of steam.

Post #14 explains a lot. Especially of the "recreational" kind.

Your last sentence sums up DG very well. Alternatively, his false comparison heats up the steam against his foolishness. To be honest, I am surprised his superiors have not called him out for his blatant bias. His schtick is getting old makes those around him look bad. Let him have his opinion,just tone it down for TV/Print/Web.
 
A congruent argument?

He heard the term once and forgot to look it up (assuming he knows how to look it up).

Congruent arguments

Congruent arguments

One possible way to establish a group of advice declarations is to compare argument lists. Any two advice declarations with congruent argument lists would be in the same group, for some suitable definition of `congruent.' This would probably be a poor idea; just consider how hard it would be to express that two advice declarations should actually be independent of each other even though they might be enabled at the same program point and they do have congruent argument lists. In particular, it would be hard to avoid unintended grouping of advice from different aspects, possibly written by programmers in different organizations.
