- “In knowledge there is always a trade-off between accuracy and simplicity.”
Evaluate this statement
- Accuracy
- Getting closer to Correspondant truth?
- How close it matches
- Simplicity
- Understandable (to most possible)
- Effortless
- Briefness
- For something to be accurate it has to be complicated
- Can accuracy never be simple?
- ALWAYS
- KC
- Can something simple be accurate?
- Axioms?
- Can they be made simpler in exchange for accuracy
- Simplicity but in what part of the process?
- Simplicity in the communication of the answer
- Simplicity in the investigation process in making the claim
- Simplicity in science can come from ignoring a few factors in the experiment in science?
- Natural sciences: TO the cell theory it can be explained in simple terms for a person not taking science to understand but this explanation will lack accuracy as many concepts are left out.
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells. The cell is the basic unit of
structure and organization in organisms. Cells come from preexisting cells.
- Looking at the science behind mitosis for example reduces the simplicity but gives a more accurate understanding of what is happening
- Can oversimplifying things make them less understandable??
- Simplicity varies between individual
- The title could be rephrased as there is a negative correlation between accuracy and simplicity in knowledge.
- Or as the accuracy of knowledge decreases the simplicity increases and the other way around
- Simpler as it is more understandable for most
- Simpler in terms the is shorter, less ambigious and easy to understand for people with that level of understanding
- Which one is then the most accurate? No matter which one it is this would disprove the claim in the title, assuming both can be seen as simple
- The "Simple" in the title has to be defined for the claim to be worth considertion as an appliccable concept
- Simple as easy to understand for individuals with limited knowledge in that AOK
- + simplicity = - Accuracy?
- -simplicity = + accuracy?
- +Accuracy = -Simplicity?
- -Accuracy = +Simplicity?
- KQ: Can simplicity and accuracy and knowledge coexist?
- KQ2: Do we choose between choose between accuracy and simplicity?
- KQ3: Simplicity or accuracy, which one is more useful in establishing models of reality?
- This on
- Concepts as lenses
- looking at how simplicity gives depth but not bredth
- Look at 2 aok
- Religion painting and other interpretations
- Pyramids about the more specific something is the less people understand
