The mortality % is largely irrelevant if there's no real outbreak. If we throw out random numbers and cap its spread to say 100 people total (even that seems high at this point), even a 50% mortality rate is not that scary from that POV.
If there's no real outbreak then of course there's nothing to really worry about for everyone but the very unlucky few. But you can't use the mortality % to downplay the need to worry when it relies on the thing not spreading in the first place.
If it does break through somehow, the ~1-15% is plenty to worry about, is my point. The focus when downplaying the overall risk should be on things that'll prevent it from becoming a pandemic (of which there's plenty), not how the mortality rate isn't scary (because it is). Hopefully that helps.
I think you've confused yourself to what you're even arguing about.
Using Steph as an example of someone who might hit 90% from 3 in practice helps prove me right. There's maybe 1 or 2 guys who can hit 90% in practice from 3. Maybe. And it probably would not hold up over 1000 shots straight.
The guy I replied to claimed "the worst nba players" can hit 90% from 3 in practice. Not Steph, the worst shooters in the league!
I was never arguing that it's easier to hit uncontested presureless shots in practice than shots in a real game, no shit it is. Free throw stats are the closest definitive thing we have to compare to (aka uncontested but closer vs more pressure), it's the only reason I brought them up.
But claiming that the worst NBA players would consistently hit 90% from 3 in practice is wildly wrong. If you disagree with that after looking at the free throw stats and using some common sense then I can't help you.
@nomisinfohere_@KC6056089055580@RedIsNotAFlavor@yoxics Bet ya you didn't.
Making 10 in a row after who knows how many attempts does not make you a 90% free throw shooter.
Stats are hard, especially when there's bias involved.
@nomisinfohere_@KC6056089055580@RedIsNotAFlavor@yoxics These guys are pros there's no chance they're choking their free throws (95% of which happen when the game is not even close/about to end) to a meaningfully enough degree to crash their %.
@Benjibooooo@RedIsNotAFlavor I don't know what's worse, the dude making such a stupid obviously wrong claim and then even doubling down on it after I posted the stats or all the people blindly agreeing with it.
@KC6056089055580@RedIsNotAFlavor@yoxics Just completely ignoring the fact that there's only 5 guys in the whole NBA shooting 90% from the free throw line (undefended and substantially closer)?
And you claimed the worst NBA players will hit 90% from three in practice which is clearly a ludicrous claim given the above.
@RedIsNotAFlavor@yoxics There are only 5 players in the current season with a FREE THROW % above 90%.
It's unlikely that there is single player in the NBA that can consistently shoot 90%+ from three.
@waleswoosh@1ronlad It used to be encouraged once upon a time but apparently not anymore. I guess constantly buying and selling would be. Which sounds a lot more like farming than holding projects you believe in. π€·πΌ
@KaruptKP@AbstractChain Yeah, i don't know. I enjoy holding what I consider to be worthy projects and playing games when I feel like playing them, but trying to run up my transactions or play games I wouldn't otherwise be playing solely to farm XP is not my thing.
@ProofOfEly Steady 25k -> 5k. I guess holding ever depreciating assets is officially not the alpha anymore. No chance to hit Platinum at this rate unless TGE is pushed back to 2028. π
