FEEDBACK

摘要

Fruitloopery is, Feedback has proposed, most readily detected by the uncalled-for use of the word "quantum" (10 June 2006 et seq). Don Jewett proposes a more subtle detector that can spot fractional fruitloopery, no less.rn"For example," he writes, "the first five letters of'quantitative easing' are the first five letters of 'quantum', giving a detection-coefficient of 5/7. The fruitloopery of 'quantitative easing' in the fiscal sphere involves much spin, but perhaps it falls short of being fully quantal."
