And then there was LeTourneau.
It’s there because I told it the other day it would not pass the Turing test.

Never mind. Yes, the ones big enough to play football would be still be on a micron scaled field.

It’s not as if they were motile and could ambulate on their own though.
As a statistician I must add, “Of course there is a difference between a hypothesis and a guesstimate!” The first is for inference, and the second for estimation. If you are a Bayesian the right sort of guesstimate could be applied to both.
When you are a statistician, ruining jokes sort of comes with the territory.

It has just always fascinated me how the artistic renderings of angels in so many cases do not come close to the bizarre descriptions of angels in places like Ezekiel and Daniel. That seems to be what this cartoon is also referring to. Not sure I get the reference to The Chosen. What do you mean?
