Interesting website and great presentation. My only note is that the color contrast of some of the text makes it hard to read.

exactly my thought. and here thr reader view of FF is a godsend.

having 'accessible' content is not only for people with disabilities, it also help with bad color taste.

well, at least bad taste for readable content ;)

The FF reader view here starts from "We just saw how a Decision Tree", gobbling up half the article. Simply disabling CSS works better. Though in both cases, it seems that ordering might be a bit mixed up.

I just wish we’d stop with the “unreasonable” click-bite. Cheapens an otherwise excellent article, like “7 x (number 6 will surprise you)” of yesteryear

Isn’t that exactly how humans (and even animals) operate?

Human societies look for actual major correlations and establish classifications. Except with scientific-minded humans, we often also want, to know the why behind the correlations. David Hume got involved w that… https://brainly.com/question/50372476

Let me ask a provocative question. What, ultimately, is the difference between knowledge and bias?

To a certain degree yes.

In this Mesopotamian text, diagnostic rules are structured as a nest of if then else rules. So I have been told, not that I have read it myself.

And you are absolutely correct. I've seen the DT page thanks to the linked HN submission (actually comment [1]. And incorrectly associated the DT article incorrectly today. Thank you.
