npub1p34kn5su0fzjmsqx7wegqftnd34xr7as808udkxyltcl9zw6jrqqajwdy6 (npub1p34…wdy6) 100 would be Genghis Khan. 0 would be government at all.
No im not asking examples of things that are at 0 or 100… I am asking, what quality is 0 to 100 measuring? I just don’t see the need for anything other than whole numbers here.
My objection has nothing to do with you using whole numbers. I used whole numbers in my example too. The difference here is more fundemental than that…
my line had an absolute inflection point (0) that divides the two categories, yours has an arbitrary point (50) which is relative rather than absolute, that makes a huge difference. Your scale represents things like “hot, cold, warm” but would fail to represent things like “what is my altitude above sea level” where there is a clear 0 people, clear negatives, and clear positives, and no maximum or minimum
So by going from an unbounded (infinite at both ends) scale with an absolute center point (0) to one that has none of that is a VERY different representation and is not capable of representing the information we want. If you want to toss in authoritarians
Nope, I have no interest in tossing this in, why would we want to it has no relavance to if your on the left or right, it is a different metric. My point is two things can be on the exact same point of the left-right scale and still be vastly different when measured by other scales.
