Umm, you know you could apply that argument to just about any specification, right?

Example:
The 12-bit 3840 x 2160 specification of my UHD monitor is pure fluff since I'm using it to display a 256-colour image that was upscaled from 640x480.

Hint: It's not the device that's at fault; it's the source material. GIGO.

I wonder if that is part of the appeal of vinyl to audiophiles.

Given that the ability of vinyl to accurately reproduce music is demonstrably much worse than that of CDs, is there an appeal other than nostalgia? Are music industry masterers applying less dynamic range compression to masters destined for vinyl for example?

I agree with you on that count, but the paleo diet is still flawed in that its fundamental premise - that at some point in the past mankind was somehow in sync with their environment, and their diet at that point was perfectly aligned with their nutritional needs.

This is apparently because our ancestors evolved to a stable state on one diet over a very long period of time.

This is a massive, and wrong, assumption. Humans were never in perfect harmony with their environment, even if such a condition is at all possible.

Well, yes. Do you think your company could survive if offered a contract orders of magnitude larger than you'd ever seen, re-tooled to accommodate that one massive order, and then not getting paid for it?

Slight over-simplification, yes, but fairly representative of what actually happened.

I would find that very cumbersome, as I use keyword search all the time for a number of websites.

w petersen graph
m interstellar

I wouldn't tolerate having to wade through the front pages of Google, Wikipedia, imdb, YouTube, bugzilla and all the rest every time I wanted to look up something.
