Again with the "you are wrong." Why the acerbic and argumentative tone? Up to this point, this appears to be a friendly conversation about their views on the theory, which was informative and interesting.
If someone says they're not convinced, you can't disprove that. One may heap on additional evidence to attempt to convince them, but they may continue to be unconvinced for rational or irrational reasons. This site often discusses matters of faith. There's no right or wrong about being convinced. "You are wrong" demarks an absolutism, both in passive grammar and in connotation. I prefer a community which demonstrates respect for others' faith and others' opinion. Fisher-Yates may have been proven effective by way of analyzing the results for uniform potential entropy. It may have been proven by logical analysis of the probabilities on each successive swap. Sharing that evidence is helpful, but I ask politely for everyone to build a constructive community, not one which promotes controversy and arrogance. -- In reply to Re: Re: Fisher-Yates theory
