I feel that we are at risk of turning this article into an article on what Colbert says about the band. While I agree that him bringing them onto the show (After discovering them on reddit!?) is a huge step towards gaining popularity in the US (perhaps even the world) and should be mentioned. We could perhaps look for other sources on the relevant things he says? Such as the rise in popularity on Amazon.com. --Dront (talk) 02:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I don’t know if you’re joking or not. The whole Wikipedia is made up of stuff that some random person said, as long as it’s written on a site that sounds somehow like an authority and not on Wikipedia. Which of course makes no fuckin’ sense at all, since there is no absolute scale to measure reliability in terms of closeness to reality, since it’s 99% based on trust in the source, which is a very personal thing, and 1% on logical proof and measurements, which is called “original research” and for retarded reasons a taboo here anyway. And after that, people still reject everything that does not fit their world view, since a neural network by definition can’t process/store such a thing. (I’m an expert in these things, and can prove neurologically, why it’s the same thing as fear of death for a brain.) Additionally, the source itself usually also has its own trust-relationship with its source, and so on. Often many times. Finally, to make this joke of lying-to-oneself a total failure, you sometimes end up with Wikipedia as the original source again. So as the final effect, some admin group decided the reliability thing on their own views of trust and their own mental model of reality, which makes Wikipedia about as reliable as a Nazi propaganda magazine. The only difference to that, is that the Wikinazis’ view usually overlaps the average users’ mostly. Which only makes it better, if you like being ignorant in case you (and them) are wrong. So don’t start about reality, or you’re looking like an idiot. (Not saying that you are. Since this all may be news to you. But if you now still would ask thin, I’d have to call you one, based on proper logic. ^^ But I doubt that it comes to that.) —188.100.192.146 (talk) 03:25, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S.: There are even studies out there, proving this. Like the one mentioned here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10309840-71.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.100.192.146 (talk) 03:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * How is your comment even vaguely related to mine which pointed out that perhaps we need a multitude of sources instead of using a single one for vast multitude of facts which could be supported elsewhere (such as sales records on Amazon)? I would say that the one appearing as a bit out of touch with reality here is the person trying to force a lengthy POV reply to fit a question which is completely unrelated.

If you can show me that on my talk page I bet you can get a paper into a journal (if it has not already been published). Mind you, if you are basing your conclusions on an Artificial neural network I hope that you don't think it reflects biology too much. But as I said, my talk page, since it is not related to this wiki page. -- Dront (talk) 04:24, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
