I prefer to let my conversation partner open up, pick their brain, and learn from their experiences. Hell I’m ok with 30 - 70 in their favor sa conversation. There are A LOT of interesting of people out there (as well as, well, terrible ones), and sometimes it takes nailing the right question, learning their right passion, to unlock a potentially memorable (and fun) conversation.
Strong law of small numbers though.
Masyadong konti ang numbers “small enough” (for example, less than 10000) for the available properties and hence small numbers are likely to be interesting.
I think that’s true whether or not we’re talking in a mathematical sense or not.
I agree with you, and thank you for the TIL
Strong law of small numbers
From my light reading of it, linking it conversationally, basically mahirap pag ikaw ung “small” number na nagbubuhat ng convo LMAO at a certain point you simply can’t carry on the conversation.
EDIT: Formatting
Yeah, ultimately, it depends on how much you can support your premise, in this case, “X is an interesting number.”
And in a lot of cases, you also have to make sure that whatever property you’re talking about is actually interesting to the one you’re having a conversation with (or in case of an article, your target audience).
Mejo useless if I assert and then go off on talking about why 28 is a perfect number if the person I’m talking to has no interest in the surrounding number theory behind it (lalo na if you just say it out of a sudden).
