Maths and the Mentalist

No real mathematician would ever use the phrase "statistically identical".

[@cv990a4]

@@samueldeandrade8535 Statisticians do not show that things are the same. Instead, what they show (or not) is that it is very unlikely that two things are unrelated. The baseline assumption ("the null hypothesis") is that there is no relation. Then they show (or not) that it's very unlikely that this is true given the data, and they can do that up to some confidence interval. So they would be more likely to say something like "the data show that it's highly unlikely these were committed by different individuals". Though I'd still want to understand in what sense they mean that, bc statistical statements are generally made about populations, not specific individuals.

[@samueldeandrade8535]

@@cv990a4 hi. First, thank you very much for a reply. I asked someone else that didn't reply, something that may happen for several reasons. So I see that you tried to help me understand something. BUT you can't answer my question. Because my question actually is "Why, nickeldan, do you think like that?" OP, nickeldan, said "No real mathematician would ever use the phrase 'statistically identical'", It seems OP feels some problem with the expression "statistically identical". I don't see why. And you comment does NOT explain. The fact "Statisticians do not show that things are the same", (is a fact considering the more precise variation "Statisticians usually do not show that things are the same") does NOT invalidates the expression "statistically identical". On contrary, it serves as argument to justify it. Right? So, it seems you agree with me that OP's statement is very wrong. Because a real mathematician, let's suppose a statistician, comparing things X and Y, X≠Y, still can say "X is statistically identical to Y", denoted by X~Y, in my opinion. In some sense, OP's comment implies that statisticians are not real mathematicians. I can't accept this.

[@daringdarius5686]

While I agree with you, she seemed someone who would always be confident in her own answers. The type of person who would always quadruple check anything she had discovered, then cross-reference it with multiple sources, and checked credibility, and you get where I'm going. She has complete trust in her own ability to calculate anything, because she is rarely (never) wrong... when it comes to numbers, her problem is realizing what she is calculating isn't numbers, but humans... Some of the most spontaneously stupid, stupidly spontaneous, and stupidly, spontaneously, stupid beings I have yet to understand. She may have thought that, with her level of intelligence backed by the consistency and engineering behind a computer, run through a program that could accelerate and sort through any previous existing cases, to find the culprit in the most non-biased, quick and efficient way as possible. Which is my way of saying, she was a little naive, but not wrong. Computers are never wrong, sadly, and when they are it's never their fault.

It's never mentioned again, but bear in mind Jane never went to high school. Sure he got an education, but given how secretive he is about his own leads in the Red John case, had he gleaned any info from it he surely would have kept it secret. If he couldn't interpret the data effectively, he wouldn't be able to ask for help due to his paranoia, in which case it would be useless to him. He threw it away knowing this, but the obsession made him take it back. It very well might've had useful insights, possibly ones that would've saved him years, but personal vendetta is not a place for objectivity. Which is what you need.

And no one noticed how the FBI statistical analysis expert dropped in (in plain sight) the real world big picture clue that is gematria. It's true, if you stand back far enough it IS all numbers - numbers coded into words. This show is all about multi layered subtext and covert reveals. So why are so many Mentalist fans only connecting with the narrative on a very basic superficial level via the most glib aspects of the drama and the sexual appeal of the players?

[@diarykeeper]

Thats not the case for all. However, most details you'll only notice, when you rewatch the second or third time, when the drama is known to you already. Like for example the fact that Jane is a huge Carl Jung Fan. And knows all these quotes. Or his Mind Palace (not to be confused with another "semi decent" detective shows main character) in Red, White Blue

[@mirjamheijn5214]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Mentalist. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Jane's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the Mentalist truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Jane's existential catchphrase "The truth hurts, I know," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bruno Heller's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Mentalist tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

[@paareth]

@Moderate Fkr Because what you just said takes a certain amount of thought that many people only apply to their work, not their TV shows or leisure time. I like complicated shows so I might, but a lot of people just like to relax and unwind. A colorful character(s) and a mystery that keeps them guessing is enough for most audiences. Let's not forget this is one of the more detailed shows that was on at the time, with certain nuances and complexity compared to a lot of broadcasted television. - All that said I don't give most TV a second look as I like a certain amount of mental or cerebral engagement with the media I watch or read.

@malcolmnaylor8381 I understand where u are coming from since it was a famous philosophical statement that was originated from pythagorians in ancient Greece. But It s a bit strange to follow the logic that something can only be philosophical and exist only as an assumption if it cannot be proven by mathematics. E.g. would you agree with the following statement that "AI chatbot like chatgpt has some basic understanding of most topics" because using your logic, until you can use mathematics to prove AI can understand something, that is only a philosophical statement and purely assumption that chatgpt can understand anything? As I said since everything can be expressed in numbers, so do you truly need to use mathematics as proof to state AI can understand something because computers literally can only see everything expressed in numbers of zero and one? I.e is every response from AI chatbot false as it is only an assumption that everything is numbers? If nothing can be modelled in numbers by computers, how can AI give even one intelligent response?

He is, but in a sherlock holmes kind've way. - if Sherlock Holmes was a people person and not a man of science. It's not unfounded, his methods are in direct contrast to mathematical analysis of criminals - he's a charlatan. A con man. His skillset is just fundamentally different - and his ignorance offsets his genius in his own skillset. And he is a master manipulator - even now, he's pushing the scientist because they are naturally going to be coming into conflict, he just doesn't sugar coat it. That sounds speculative, but it's very common for him to take tacts like this upon meeting people he will, invariably, come into conflict with. Within his skillset he's amazing, but put him in a room with calculus majors, he'll lose his mind. They make it very clear not to glorify him or that you should be sympathizing with him, he has a brusque rogueish charm when he needs it, and utter childish pettiness when he doesn't. The show is "ok", it does sort've struggle with its greater themes. Jane's character is great, but the writers just couldn't figure out how to make moments like these transcend, so they rely on kitchiness too much.
