Aren't there two missing ones: standard model+standard circumstances (i.e. remembering you have to have something to turn in and it's the night before the science fair) and novel theory+novel circumstances (i.e. what if the universe is actually a seven dimensional tuna salad sandwich?)

ah, but that isn't professional research. youtu.be/miLcaqq2Zpk 06:20, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
I shall add this to the list: miLcaqq2Zpk 162.158.197.157 (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~) (whatever the reason/need was to say this)

I originally thought that Hairy was mapping every tree as in like a binary tree, and was covered in plants for some other, possibly related reason. Also, what's this about <blah>? 172.69.22.50 20:38, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Knowing Randall, this was a mathematical investigation, but Hairy got a little more "into the (initially mathematical) trees" than intended. Might be worth expanding on this, but it's (intentionally, thus humorously) vague so it could have a lot of different thoughts attached to it.
As to the other bit:
  • Someone wrote a non sequitur trolling on that subject you mentioned, even though the comic has absolutely nothing to do with it (and the comments weren't exactly a notably intellectual analysis, anyway, even if it had been). Others fed the troll a bit, there was some editing done and then a resurgence (just as poorly done) that you got to see but had left of most of the early 'context' absent.
  • It's all readable in the page history. Not worth reading, IMO, but it's there. But now not here. Bye bye the whole (limited) discussion as a non-executive decision on my part.
  • I would not normally delete/edit others' comments from Talk (especially of regulars), but definitely more smoke than fire and more heat than light so no loss. If established users wish to create a subsection for it, and paste it all back in, they're welcome to and can easily do so. Until then, any other anon-IP or recently created username that starts up with another clear and irrelevent trolling should probably consider themselves fair game to be deleted again (and perhaps by actual named editors/admin), plus any purely troll-feeding replies that had only that relevence.
