  • Is approval quantum or classical?

    We sometimes rate trolls on a scale from 0 to 10, with what would appear to be any real number in that range as a possible answer. 4, 0.0001, 1/3, pi/2, etc. Does this indicate that approval is classical, or that approval as it exists on the scale of internet trolling is too large to exhibit quantum properties? Perhaps there is some planck-scale approval quanta that we have yet to observe?

    On the other hand, we often rate posts with , which can obviously only be expressed in integer values. This would strongly hint at the quantum nature of approval, but there is an alternative. It's possible that we only measure such approval in discrete amounts, but that between measurements (forum views), posts can and do possess any and all possible values.

    Thoughts?

    edit: Why is it : ana : and not :banana: ? Even my one year old can say "nana", suggesting that he is 33% smarter than Apolyton.

      No, it suggests that your child is only 75% as efficient as Apolytoners.

        Somehow I suspect he's said more in his 15 word vocabulary than some people in 10,000 posts...

          Or in 29,000 posts.

            Nah, he's not quite to that point yet. In a few months, probably.

              Ever since they made posts in the OT count again, I just can't help myself.

                  I should note that "Buh Buh" is a multifaceted word that, based on context, either means "Yogurt", "Play Ball with me", or "Bubbles". I leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which is intended here.
