10:12:10 From Josh Bishop To Everyone:
	Bernhard, the simple message that I connected to at the beginning of the course is that truth and fiction are content, and we're here to learn about form.
10:12:33 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Josh - EXACTLY!

	I've got a few Working Circles that haven't hit their 2 participant minimum yet  Sign up here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nmaxeyGKnqRVI8oWEam15Oqkec1BXwYeAVpBcaTyl2Y/edit#gid=0

10:32:49 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	The goal of a good ABT is to maintain 100% accuracy, but we have to accept that for communication we have to let go of 100% precision.  That's what we're trying to achieve with the form of the ABT - maintaining accuracy and optimizing precision.
10:37:25 From Safyya Cissé To Everyone:
	Replying to "The goal of a good A..."
	
	can you discuss what you mean by this a little bit more? I'm struggling to grasp the idea of optimizing precision
10:37:56 From Jamal Yearwood To Everyone:
	Reacted to "can you discuss what..." with 👍
10:40:17 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Replying to "The goal of a good A..."
	
	The question is, how precise do you need to be to get your message across?  Do you really need 100% precision?  An example of 100% precision is a  1000 page version of a scientific paper detailing the full history of everything related to what you're doing and going into full detail of everything that might come of your research.  How many people really need that level of precision?
10:41:11 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Replying to "The goal of a good A..."
	
	So that first point is:  You're already optimizing your communication to some degree.
10:41:49 From Safyya Cissé To Everyone:
	Replying to "The goal of a good A..."
	
	So essentially carefully select details that explain your research accurately and are relevant to your audience?
10:43:01 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Replying to "The goal of a good A..."
	
	Yes!  That's where you keep your eye on precision.  How precise does this audience really need me to get?  Is this an Inner Circle audience that wants pure AAA?  Or is this an extreme Outer Circle that will be satisfied with a concise ABT?
10:46:05 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Remember, when Randy is asking for "a story of...?" he's asking for the proximate goal.
10:46:37 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Ultimate goal:  Big picture thing you're trying to achieve.  
	Proximate goal:  The step you're taking to get closer to your Ultimate goal.
10:46:38 From Safyya Cissé To Everyone:
	a high performing and inexpensive diagnostic
10:48:30 From Josh Bishop To Everyone:
	tests need availability, accuracy, low-cost
10:48:40 From Safyya Cissé To Everyone:
	Reacted to "tests need availabil..." with 👍
10:50:33 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	We're always trying to aim for that general word that encompasses all the specifics.  Audiences like a singular narrative to hang on to.  That's why Randy keeps going back to "feasible."
10:51:39 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	Now, the singular narrative of feasible might consist of several parts (availability, accuracy, low-cost), and that's okay!  So long as you can keep circling back to a singular problem like feasible, audiences can track it easier.

	Information not organized.
10:55:48 From Safyya Cissé To Everyone:
	much information not used well
10:56:26 From SteveKern To Everyone:
	lack of integration
10:57:58 From Josh Bishop To Everyone:
	"organize" sounds like a good word to organize around (Stephen, I also am capable of repeating words!)
10:58:57 From Josh Bishop To Everyone:
	"puzzle inception" - amazing phrase
11:00:19 From Matthew David To Everyone:
	It's funny, when it comes to the THEREFORE, I don't always care if I fully understand what actions you're taking.  If you sell me on the importance of your narrative in the AND and the BUT, I'm mostly happy that it looks like you have a way to solve it and you can go into as much detail as you want!
11:00:42 From Bernhard ("Bear-n-hard") Weigl, pronouns he, him To Everyone:
	On the "form vs content" topic - seems to me that the very tweet length argument shows that form often influences content (at least under 300 characters) by driving towards simple, clear, and reductive messaging that often omit needed context. An IMRAD-style scientific article on the other hand drives towards lots of context, thoughtful comprehensive discussion and erring on the side of inclusiveness for counterarguments. Downside is that it becomes difficult to comprehend for most people. Hence, form and content are not independent variables. 
	
	Example from the early Covid times of an attempt at providing scientifically sound yet actionable advice to regular people that spectacularly backfired: : the initial advice from CDC to NOT mask up, followed by a later message for everyone to mask up has its root in an attempt at simplifying the message. The truth was simply a bit more complicated (there was a need to preserve masks for first responders, then a lack of clear evidence that masks protected people, then
