 comment Are there reliable metrics for measuring the productivity of a programmer?
@ChrisW It's a researchers job to know how define, measure and mix different metrics together to reach a conclusion. If this can be done in the business sector (and it has been done decades according to Greg Wilson: vimeo.com/9270320) there's no reason why it can't be done for programmers. We all know programmers think it's hard, and I think all of us understand why programmers think it's hard, that's not what is being asked.

This doesn't answer the question and doesn't offer citations.

 comment Does circumcision lead to a net increase in quality of life?
@jwenting It's not a scam, these are regular people thinking up the same regular stuff for the same reasons as anyone does, there's no grand conspiracy. In any event, I'm done here. I don't find any value in trying to convince you one way or another, and it's unimportant to the question. Also I never claimed purity of reason, you claimed purity.

 comment Does circumcision lead to a net increase in quality of life?
@jwenting That's just flat untrue. There's absolutely no reason why someone can't both have a religious ritual, and believe it carries health benefits. There is also absolutely no reason why someone can't perform a religious ritual as a non-believer, because of culture while also thinking it carries health benefits.

@jwenting I can't tell if that was sarcasm. In any case it's not true, I've been living in asia for years, and I've been to the middle east several times and they propagate these exact same claims.

 comment Does objectifying women in advertisement cause violence against their gender?
@Oddthinking I would consider sexual assault to be off-topic for this question as it's somewhat common to lash out and break objects, not quite as common to attempt to molest them. I don't think you could include any negative act like "This objectification causes more women to be stood up for promotion.", "This objectification causes more women to be targeted for identity thefts."

 comment Will tiger farming drive up demand for wild tigers and lead to them being hunted to extinction?
@Oddthinking It's not very attractive to me to make a straight comparison between anything that is sold and animals, and for people making this argument I don't think that answer would be particularly convincing. Animals can cease to be completely, while products (like New Zealand marmite after the earthquate in Christ Church) can be stopped and re-started. Some animals are cheaper to hunt in the wild than to breed (elephants), some can go extinct because of a demand for another resource (bison being hunted as a cheap substitute to domesticated cow skin). I understand where you are coming from
