Scooters corrects Adam on what films he likes

As an Art autism, I agree.

This probably describes this argument perfectly

Honestly, you don't need to be autistic to come to Scoot's assumption, it's REALLY basic math that Adam is having a hard time with here (he's playing a hard game simultaneously, I'll cut him some slack)

Most people would cutt off at ten. If ten is the highest rating it kind of negates the need for a 10.5 or a 10.4 or any other decimals.

that's like giving a movie five and a half stars, or if Ebert said "I loved this movie, I give it two thumbs up"

@@holdingpattern245 There's probably an equal amount of reviewers that use 4-star AND 5-star rating systems, so mentioning stars has almost no meaning unless it's above a 4 lol

Are you saying Scoot did 9/11?

Objectifying

It is what I live for

Hi you must be new here, welcome to YMS.

@@Thenameless1 No.

Hahaha

And we know why he doesn't, since he hates periods, hence why he's gayto avoid that nonsense.

So it's closer to a 6 than a 5

@@Jerry-yd8pj pretty much, but he did said a “5.5” instead of “closer to a 6 than a 5 (or 4)”

He wasn't even trying to troll lol

Send it!

To truncate a number is to limit the number of digits to the right of the decimal, it does not replace rounding. When you say something is "more 7" than another seven that mean are least one digit past the decimal and that means rounding. The problem is justifying the way you want to express something that isn't really math as correct math instead of trying to communicate what your thinking in the terms of math.

Adum is using a floor function

I just wish Adam would have realized he can drop the decimals and said "75 out of 100" and no one can misinterpret the meaning then.

@@TrackZero Scoot would’ve argued that a 75+ would round up to an 80 lol. But it would be easier to visualize w something like blocks - which Adum even mentioned.

you overthink it. they just talk about different things and they confused themselves. scoot is arguing about how you round numbers and adum is talking about how you express numbers (and not how you round them) so even if you do round them in the way scoot is describing: you can still use adum's way of expressing the final number and neither scoot or adum would be wrong.

@@AnoNymous-dh2sv I mean yeah, none of it matters if you know what they mean at the end of the day

The things is though, if Adam says that he rates something a 7, closer to a 6 than an 8, than it can not be an implied 7.1 for example. Because a 7.1 isn't closer to a 6 than an 8. His own logic doesn't make sense.

How dare you call me a baby! Wah! 😭

EXACTLY!!

Yeah rounding isn't a rule you have to uniformly conform to. It's kind of arbitrary, like, if you really wanted to be pedantic you could say "actually 🤓, if something is a 7.5 it's not an 8, because it's a 7.5", and that would be dumb

If you are using round numbers then you are rounding it, it doesn't matter if you don't see it that way, that's what it is.

Yeah scoot is operating under the pretense that a decimal which literally reaches halfway to the next highest number (i e .5) automatically rounds up to the next highest number. It makes no sense. It really is an arbitrary rule that's he's applying for the sake of being pedantic. A 7.5 is not an 8, a 7.6 is not an 8, a 7.7 is not an 8, a 7.8 is not an 8, and a 7.9 is still not an 8. The decimals literally delineate the degrees in which the 7 is closer to an 8, that's why they exist in the first place. What a stupid argument. The only reason you would ever apply such a rule is for real life applications involving things like counting inventory. Additionally, something like a 7.3 would NOT equate to a low 7. That extra .3 of the number, for example, infers that it is still higher than a base 7. a low 7 would realistically be something like a 6.8, which for all intents and purposes would also be a high 6. Edit: HOWEVER. According to Adum's ranking system, Scoot's logic actually applies. Because if Adum were to rate something a "High 6" then he would also have to accept that that is the same thing as a "low 7", which he does not. So in that sense, scoot is correct in that a "low 7" would be something like a 7.3. I think I actually understand where he's coming from if this is the case. Either way, it's all semantics and I personally (as with most people) would not rate things in terms of "high" or "low" variations of a number, and that is just something Adum does and doesn't consciously apply a rule to delineate between what makes a smaller "higher" number from a larger "lower" number. So in summation, scoot is correct in that he's accounting for Adum's personal rating rubric, which Adum was not previously conscious of. But he would be incorrect in terms of how MOST people rate things on a 1-10 scale (ie how letterboxd allows you to only rate things in half star (.05) increments.)

You are extremely unintelligent.

Years aren't a good comparison to make, it never makes sense to round them.

@@leonkuwata4510 Yeh but there isn't rounding going in, that was Scoots thing. It is describing the location of a point within a certain range, whether it be within the 70s, within a 7 or within a year. And even if we conceded that the year example isn't the best, 60s and 70s doesn't just refer to years. So would you say that 67 was "low 70s"? Would you say 0.4 was "high 0s"?

@@MrMyers758 The most relevant word in Adam's scoring is "closer". If it's "closer" to a 6 than an 8, it just logically and mathematically follows that it could not possibly be above a 7. Logic dictates that it is a "high 6" in this case, somewhere between a 6.5 & 6.9.

@@leonkuwata4510 Yeh but it seems that he mispoke given that at 0:42 he said "closer to an 8 than a 6". Either way, regardless of what Adum said, Scoot is still wrong xD

Isn't Scoot arguing that?

Scoot has convinced him

But Adam says "closer to an 8 than a 6," 7.2 is in fact closer to 8 than 6, that's not just mathematically correct, that is entirely correct. Adam is not rounding down either, otherwise he would say "closer to an 8 than a 7," ratings that are "closer to a 6" would just be 6.

@@holdingpattern245 while you're correct in what you said, "closer to an 8 than a 6" is not the same thing as a high 7

Total Virgo behavior

What precisely do you mean by saying scoot is "mathematically correct"

But the fact that Adam has never even CONSIDERED this perspective before this moment is genuinely astonishing.

Adum makes no sense with the way he says it. In what world is a 7.3 closer to a 6 than an 8

@@Revenent530 because for him 6.9 is a 6. Numbers in his context arent the same numbers in math, they are symbols that represent enjoyment. Just change up the numbers ( more like symbols than numbers ) 1-10 with words like like, really like, dislike, love etc. They are just talking about 2 different things one is talking about numbers and the other is talking about symbols

scoots argument is technically correct if we talk about numbers but falls apart the minute you consider the maximum and minimum numbers that are 10 and 1 ( i dont know if he uses 0 it might be 0 )

yes. to put it simply, scoot is right in terms of rounding and adum is right in terms of how we express numbers (so they talk about different things in reality).

@@Revenent530 the world that’s relevant to what Adum was talking about where 6.9 is still a 6. That’s seriously how all reviewers do this, I don’t understand why people are acting like Adum is being dumb

Adum is gonna be livid at how many times people ask him how high he was

But if you got 89.6 somehow they should absoluly round that up to a 90

Look I love Adum to death, but this was the most satisfying thing to see ever. He can be unbearable sometimes when he’s always right or tries to be right, so it’s good to see him get a taste of his own medicine when someone else finally proves him wrong lol.

So technically across the spiderverse is a low 8 by scoots method?

Rounding isn't real lol
