IH Explains His Position
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 14th, 2005 4:32 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater For those of you who are wondering why I retired - well I will now come out of retirement just this once to let you all know. I am angry with GTO because, in my opinion, he used a methodology I developed and is now taking credit for it. At first, when I saw his paper and recognized over 20 pages of my writing I was not upset. I even e-mailed GTO telling him it's okay as long as he credited me. Then I realized how atrocious what he did actually was and became angry. In fairness to GTO, he changed those pages and now he just paraphrases the methodology I feel I developed.
GTO: I gave you every chance to come forward. I'm sure you will have a rebuttal. If you'd like we can play a game where we both post e-mails and IM conversations we had regarding the study. Or you can just admit that you did use a methodology that I developed to form the rankings in your paper and this can be the end of it. I'm not going to interfere with your attempts to publish your paper. But I do want people here to know what you did - because while you may not feel it's wrong, I do. And since you weren't willing to tell them, I feel I must.
Now, I certainly don't claim to be responsible for everything in GTO's paper - he decided on studying 2001-2003 graduates, he was responsible for collecting about half the dataset, he wrote and researched the entire lit review and the regression he did is *certainly* not mine. Nor do I want my name on his paper. After all, it's supposed to be HIS paper.
That said, I don't think it's right that GTO is using a methodology I developed and taking credit for it as his own work or as "work we both did." Here is the methodology conversation we had that gave rise to the methodology GTO used in his paper. You will notice that he changed the number 200 to 250 and changed the name of the measure, TPI to TQS. You will also notice everything else is the same. Is this his methodology? Is this work we both did? You be the judge.
****
GTO (4:41:20 AM): what exactly did you do? IH (4:41:32 AM): composite version of the new quality index IH (4:41:36 AM): "quality" index GTO (4:41:46 AM): so what're the total rankings? IH (4:41:52 AM): what I sent you GTO (4:42:01 AM): that's the actual final rankings? IH (4:42:04 AM): yea GTO (4:42:12 AM): explain the methodology again IH (4:43:25 AM): For each school, Z: R1*QUAL1+R2*QUAL2+...+Rn*QUALn where R is "regional importance factor and QUAL is the mean quality of school placed in incl the adjustment for depth of placement GTO (4:44:13 AM): hmmm GTO (4:44:34 AM): this is a pretty radical change though IH (4:44:37 AM): Naturally removes the outliers and is a graceful way of accoutnign for quality and depth IH (4:44:44 AM): yea it is IH (4:44:52 AM): its a lot more graceful statistically GTO (4:44:57 AM): how did you adjust for quality? IH (4:45:34 AM): The new quality index is essentially a depth and quality index all in one GTO (4:45:54 AM): eh if that was the case why does it deviate so significantly from the previous index? GTO (4:45:57 AM): if it' sall in one GTO (4:46:03 AM): sorry i'm just trying to see what caused such a big shift IH (4:46:05 AM): they all deviate IH (4:46:09 AM): like get this: IH (4:46:11 AM): this is nuts GTO (4:46:11 AM): basically the entire group outside of the top 3 is different IH (4:46:25 AM): If u form regional TPIs and aggregate by aaronfag 1... [sic] IH (4:46:28 AM): Michigan is top 3 IH (4:46:36 AM): if u do them separetely by aaronfag 1 [sic] its 10 IH (4:46:42 AM): so weird IH (4:47:02 AM): basically theres no one way to do this. just gotta choose the most elegant and accurate way GTO (4:48:19 AM): thing w/ this one is that the differences are very insignificant though GTO (4:48:47 AM): the others had a definite breakoff point IH (4:48:48 AM): yea which prolly more accurately reflects the similarity of placement between schools IH (4:49:03 AM): I mean I can monkey with it to form a bigger spread if u want... GTO (4:49:20 AM): i'm just trying to figure out what caused the big changes GTO (4:49:34 AM): i mean the others had shifts but this is the biggest shift i've seen, since you fixed that error w/ the first ranking IH (4:49:39 AM): any small chnage in methodollogy started causing weird shit. I had one with Stanford as #20 IH (4:50:18 AM): Like I said, when using only Aaronfag 1 [sic], one using depth and quality separately. one combining them within region, Mich was 10th in one, 3rd in another GTO (4:50:39 AM): what rank did you give the non-top 200 firm peoploe? that's the adjustment you made right? IH (4:50:51 AM): 200 IH (4:50:53 AM): yea GTO (4:50:54 AM): if you did that i think that's what caused this shakeup IH (4:51:11 AM): yea its also a terrific way to finally rid ourselevs of these pesky outliers GTO (4:51:19 AM): eh not really IH (4:51:42 AM): cause Kenucky wasnt REALLY placing well... GTO (4:51:44 AM): it doesn't go after just the outliers, it seems to disproportionately hurt schools that send many people to TTT regions IH (4:51:49 AM): It was just placing like 5 grads in top firms IH (4:51:59 AM): not really IH (4:52:02 AM): WUSTL moved up... IH (4:52:05 AM): as did UVA IH (4:52:11 AM): and Vandy GTO (4:52:57 AM): hmmm GTO (4:53:08 AM): are there any issues w/ the choice of 200 as the # to use? IH (4:53:24 AM): theres three more schools to add 2 of which are Northeast which could chnage things a bit. perhaps move Penn isnot the 95 gorup GTO (4:53:25 AM): also what's the mean vault/ppp rank overall? GTO (4:53:33 AM): i don't think the mean or median is at 100 IH (4:53:39 AM): wouldnt matter what u choose.. GTO (4:53:56 AM): so if you used 250 instead of 200 it wouldn't imapct this at all? IH (4:54:11 AM): Itd chnage the cardinal values - not the ordinal rankings tho GTO (4:55:07 AM): so what's the depth vs. quality weighing in this thing? GTO (4:55:10 AM): as opposed to the other ones? IH (4:55:23 AM): Its all in one. which is also nice ecause 50/50 was very artificial GTO (4:55:59 AM): so if it's not 50/50 now what is it? IH (4:56:31 AM): Not quantifiable really. The depth part is: If a school places 60% in biglaw thats 60% which are rated well below 200.... the other 40% will be 200. IH (4:56:38 AM): Its quite elegant GTO (4:57:45 AM): and thi saccounts for regional differenceS? GTO (4:57:53 AM): still benchmarking based on regional avg? IH (4:57:57 AM): yep IH (4:57:59 AM): all that is the same IH (4:58:31 AM): actually it uses qual benchmark which contains depth benchamrk indirectly to be specific IH (4:58:41 AM): actually directly GTO (4:58:42 AM): so if 80% of the priv practice ppl are not working in biglaw in Region X then when calculating avgs for the region you count that 80% as 200? IH (4:58:45 AM): its in the formula lol IH (4:58:50 AM): yes IH (4:58:51 AM): correct IH (4:59:36 AM): so eg in region 9, the average person is working in the firm ranked: 169.8 IH (4:59:43 AM): in region 7, its 180.67 GTO (4:59:53 AM): and this is using aaronfag1 [sic] and aaronfag2? [sic] GTO (4:59:56 AM): or just aaronfag1? [sic] IH (5:00:27 AM): Both were used to form a set of regional importance indexes for each school. Regional importance depends on the size of the market and the preferences of students. IH (5:00:57 AM): Using only aaronfag 1 [sic] doesnt change all that much which is nice too

IH (4:42:04 AM): yea
GTO (4:42:12 AM): explain the methodology again
IH (4:43:25 AM): For each school, Z: R1*QUAL1+R2*QUAL2+...+Rn*QUALn where R is "regional importance factor and QUAL is the mean quality of school placed in incl the adjustment for depth of placement
GTO (4:44:13 AM): hmmm
GTO (4:44:34 AM): this is a pretty radical change though
IH (4:44:37 AM): Naturally removes the outliers and is a graceful way of accoutnign for quality and depth
IH (4:44:44 AM): yea it is
IH (4:44:52 AM): its a lot more graceful statistically
GTO (4:44:57 AM): how did you adjust for quality?
IH (4:45:34 AM): The new quality index is essentially a depth and quality index all in one
GTO (4:45:54 AM): eh if that was the case why does it deviate so significantly from the previous index?

GTO (4:46:03 AM): sorry i'm just trying to see what caused such a big shift
IH (4:46:05 AM): they all deviate
IH (4:46:09 AM): like get this:
IH (4:46:11 AM): this is nuts
GTO (4:46:11 AM): basically the entire group outside of the top 3 is different
IH (4:46:25 AM): If u form regional TPIs and aggregate by aaronfag 1... [sic]

IH (4:46:36 AM): if u do them separetely by aaronfag 1 [sic] its 10
IH (4:46:42 AM): so weird
IH (4:47:02 AM): basically theres no one way to do this. just gotta choose the most elegant and accurate way
GTO (4:48:19 AM): thing w/ this one is that the differences are very insignificant though
GTO (4:48:47 AM): the others had a definite breakoff point
IH (4:48:48 AM): yea which prolly more accurately reflects the similarity of placement between schools

GTO (4:51:44 AM): it doesn't go after just the outliers, it seems to disproportionately hurt schools that send many people to TTT regions
IH (4:51:49 AM): It was just placing like 5 grads in top firms
IH (4:51:59 AM): not really
IH (4:52:02 AM): WUSTL moved up...
IH (4:52:05 AM): as did UVA
IH (4:52:11 AM): and Vandy

IH (4:58:51 AM): correct

|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:01 AM Author: jet impressive son of senegal Maybe you and I are just naturally diplomatic. Then again, I have been co-authoring papers since high-school (I was actually an incredibly lame 5th author at one time), so I guess I'm just used to seeing a lot of names at the top of these research papers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328700) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:15 AM Author: 180 painfully honest new version messiness That reminds me of something funny (though maybe not as funny as the other stuff going on on this thread), and that is that if you see multiple names on a law firm publication, it's the last author that wrote the whole thing.
"Blah blah law and its effects on blah blah"
by Rainmaker (never even read the paper), Jr. Partner (made some comments, looked for language mistakes), Associate (wrote the whole thing) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:34 AM Author: jet impressive son of senegal LOL, yeah, this is basically what made me decide that there wasn't too much of a difference between law and medical research. I used to be hardcore into "riding the crest of the wave of the latest research developments," but then I realized that crest of the wave moves so slowly that I would basically rot away in the lab.
So I decided that I would do something equally slow, such as law. |

|
Date: March 14th, 2005 4:47 AM Author: Irradiated prole I really don't see why you've got your panties in a bunch. I specifically said in the other thread that we both worked on the methodology (or are you going to deny that we had constant debates on the methodology over the course of those months?), and the formula I ended up using was different from what you were advocating for 99% of the study (aggregation based on market share and student preferences). For the entire study period I was advocating aggregation solely by market share... is it any surprise that's what I ended up using?
Aggregation by market share is not some miraculous new invention, people have been aggregating things by market share for hundreds of years.
Personally I'm just saddened that you felt the need to conduct this nonsense behind my back for two days rather than just contacting me directly... I had no idea this was even bothering you until someone alluded to it on xo tonight, and then didn't get confirmation until I IMed you shortly after that. Though considering that you're not demanding co-authorship I really don't see what you're trying to accomplish by doing this. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 4:50 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater Dude, I created about five different methodologies. You chose one, changed the name and called it your own. If you don't think my methodology is at all unique, why did you explain it in your paper?
I tried to give you a chance to do what was right without explictly brining this up on the board.
What am I trying to accomplish? Well, I'd like you to devise your own methodology. But I know you won't do that so I will settle for this thread. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 4:53 AM Author: Coral vigorous dog poop weed whacker Question:
Out of curiosity, why didn't you just do the study? Not enough time? What?
This is none of my business, but this is the first thing I thought. |

Date: March 14th, 2005 4:54 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater Ask GTO why we split. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328676) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 4:55 AM Author: Coral vigorous dog poop weed whacker So there was a splitting, or you were dumped from the project? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328679) |

Date: March 14th, 2005 4:55 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater We split. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328681) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 4:59 AM Author: Coral vigorous dog poop weed whacker So you were initially a co-author, and you walked?
I am not arguing for or against. I am just asking questions that an interested observer would like to know.
So the question, in my humble opinion would be: How do academics handle this? I really don't have any idea.
I would guess, that he answer would be:
Some sort of statement like this would be in order: Methodology used in study developed by GTO and IH. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:01 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater Yes.
I don't know how academics handle this situation. But we aren't academics.
If GTO thinks its fine to use a methodology I created in his paper, that's a decision he will have to live with. Maybe its allowed. I'm not an academic - I don't know. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:03 AM Author: Irradiated prole Aggregation by market share is not a unique methodology, it's been around for centuries before either of us was born. It's not like you invented some complex algorithm here. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328702) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:04 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater Looks pretty unique to me.
Besides, who thought of the methodology you used with the 200/250?
|
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:08 AM Author: Irradiated prole And 90% of that is useless fat that most of the paper's readers said should be cut out.
I still don't see what you're trying to accomplish here. What do you want? |

Date: March 14th, 2005 5:09 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater Develop your own methodology.
I wouldn't use the lit review you researched and wrote. I ask the same courtesy with regard to a methodology I created.
Hell, why didn't you just use the simple market share measure you advocated before? Why'd you use the method with 200/250? |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:11 AM Author: Irradiated prole A formula is not a methodology, it's part of the methodology. The bulk of the methodology (ie. the entire research design) was thought up by me... although I don't see how any of that is relevant since you can't copyright or patent a simple data collection method, just like you can't copyright or patent a simple formula for aggregation by market share.
Once again, are you claiming to have been the first person in human history to invent the aggregation by market share concept? |

Date: March 14th, 2005 5:12 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater Aggregation of what? Who formed "TQS?" You?
Who decided that aggregation of regional rankings was an appropriate way to rank shools nationally anyway? You? |

|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:22 AM Author: Irradiated prole From day one I championed aggregation by market share and made it clear that all other alternatives were TTT. What you're demanding I do is
1) be intellectually dishonest and champion a methodology I know is inappropriate
or
2) do nothing and let the study never happen.
Sorry, but neither of those options is good enough. Aggregation by market share is not some radically new idea. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:25 AM Author: Filthy fragrant people who are hurt whorehouse To say an idea is not new is not a deal killer, the question is who introduced this way of doing this study.

Date: March 14th, 2005 5:26 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater We did not even have to aggregate anything. There are a million ways to form a national ranking, Isnt it fair to say you championed an idea I out forward?
. Are you claiming you thought of TQS too?
|
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:29 AM Author: Irradiated prole Yes, you put forward the idea, dismissed it, and I championed it. Happy?
Once again, what did you expect me to do after you voluntarily quit the study? Invent some ridiculous new methodology that I knew sucked and I didn't believe in? Or just drop everything and let it die because you chose to quit?
I also still don't get why you felt the need for you and your girlfriend to air this out in public rather than just contacting me privately if you felt you were wronged. |

Date: March 14th, 2005 5:45 AM Author: Lascivious bawdyhouse roommate Here is what I see: You both worked on it, each contributing ideas here and there and then you didn't want you name on it for whatever reason as co-author, GTO said ok whatever, continued on with the study and building on what you had already done together published it, you changed you mind about wanting credit afterall, b/c then you were thinking you were "above" it probably and you didn't want to be like Leiter, known for a LS ranking paper b/c you are too pompous for that, however NOW you want GTO to be your bitch and act like you are some great academic he cites. Now that the study went over well with real academics, even critical ones like Leiter you want back in as an outside academic GTO "consulted". Kiss His Ass. It just sounds to me like you want some glory but are too much of a puss to stick a project out until completion, not atypical for you (LS). You wimp out at judgement day and are too whiny for the nitty gritty at the end of a project when it is no longer fresh and exciting. You want to abandon GTO to do all the stale work at the end and have him risk being accountable for something before you know how it will be received by the academic community b/c you are too much of a risk-averse pussy and image-soaker to stand behind your work for the better or worse, and now you want to cruise back into the study, in a more "prestigious" place as a cited source? Now I see why you are so pro-guns, b/c if I were GTO I would've blown your head off by now.

Date: March 14th, 2005 4:54 AM Author: Irradiated prole Aggregation by market share is not unique... I explained it because that's what you do in a research paper, you explain what you did. That said, it's not like I even explained it in much detail:
----
In aggregation by market share, each region is assigned a weight based on its share of the legal employment market. For example, if the Middle Atlantic region compromises 33% of the market, placement in the Middle Atlantic region will compromise 33% of the national TQS figure for every school. The formula for aggregation by market share would look like this:
TQSNmz = r1*(TQS1z) + r2*(TQS2z) + r3*(TQS3z) + … + r9*(TQS9z)
where r represents market share.
----
Devise my own methodology? Do you really think you're the first person to come up with "aggregation by market share?" The concept has been around for centuries. Look at how the House of Representatives is structured (or did the founding fathers rip you off too?). This isn't some new never thought of before concept. |

Date: March 14th, 2005 5:25 AM Author: razzle cuck native What is your point? It is an idea, you have absolutely no rights to a mere idea that you developed, even if you were the one that thought of it originally.
Unless I am understanding this wrong, what basically happened is that the two of you were working on a study together, and I assume both providing different ideas for things to include in the study. At some point, you got upset about something, and decided to stop working on the study. At that point, what did you assume would happen? That he would just ignore everything that you have said while you were working together? Was he supposed to sort out every idea that you came up with and make sure that he did not use it?
If you are in a partnership with somebody, and you come up with an idea, then the idea belongs to the partnership, not the individual. Just because you choose to run away does not mean that he must completely change the methodology that was planned to be used as part of the study. That is simply ridiculous. And, this whole post is simply ridiculous.
It seems to me that you really just need to grow up. Am I not correct in remembering that you went to law school, and then decided to quit? Then you decided to partipate in this study, but then there is some disagreement and you ran away. Then you get upset about this, and you again decide that you are just going to leave, go home, and cry like a little bitch. GET OVER IT.
You have the right to your expression of an idea, not your idea. Coming out and posting this is just pitiful and makes you look like no more than a whiny little child. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:29 AM Author: Rough-skinned opaque sex offender volcanic crater The disagreement surrounded the treatment of another person - not methodology.
But you're entitled to your opinion. |
|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:33 AM Author: razzle cuck native Ok, now that I have read above, is seems as though you had an original agreement, you wanted to change that agreement include someone else as an author, and he wanted to stick by the original agreement. Seems to me that makes it even worse for you. You want to change your original agreement, he disagrees, you walk off, and then expect him to abandon all the work that you had done together and come up with a different methodology because you ran off? That is just ridiculous. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328752) |

|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:40 AM Author: razzle cuck native Well, clearly you do not understand the idea of a partnership then. Anything that you do in furtherance of a partnership belongs to the partnership. And, the fact that you chose to leave makes it even more unreasonable for you to make demands of him.

|
Date: March 14th, 2005 5:45 AM Author: razzle cuck native No, it is not. Stealing an expression of ideas is called plagerism. And, he did not steal anything, because you were partners.

That is his choice. It is not, however, his right to say that things he developed while part of the partnership cannot be used at all.
If he wants credit, then he should get credit. But, it seems to me that he requested not to get credit, and then comes on here complaining that he did not get credit. What is that all about?

And, you are defending it. It seems that the end conclusion is that he is an immature drama queen. This is pitiful. If he wants credit then ask for credit. If not, then don't complain when his own request is honored. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328899) |

But, then again, most people credited in papers are professional and do not have a problem with being noted. It seems to me as though GTO was respecting IH's request not to be included in the paper. I mean, even Leiter was cited in the paper (and I have a feeling he is not a fan at the moment given some of what I have read here), but I am sure he has no problem with the inclusion of his ideas in the paper if he is credited. That is just the way it is done. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328882) |

If you're not giving credit to the source, this is meaningless. You might as well have a footnote that says, "I came up with this idea when I was taking a shit and realized there was no tiolet paper." It might be interesting to know where the idea came from, but if you're not doing so to give credit to a source, it is not relevant. |

Date: March 14th, 2005 6:27 AM Author: razzle cuck native But he has said that he does not want credit. So, how can he complain about not getting credit when he does not want credit? He is clearly just a drama queen who cannot seem to control his emotions. If he wants credit, then request credit (something that I am sure coudl have been done privately). There is just no reason for all of this though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=149084&forum_id=2#2328867) |

You can't plagiarize an idea? Ideas are the paradigmatic example of things you plagiarize. Plagiarism isn't a violation of copyright. It's not illegal. It's academic misconduct.
Copyright violations are distinct. I can credit someone and thereby not plagiarize, while violating a copyright. For example, if I take a copyrighted book, print copies and sell it, I am violating copyright even if I tell everyone who wrote the book and give the author all due credit.

Date: March 14th, 2005 2:51 PM Author: razzle cuck native I said that wrong. I was going on the thought that he was getting credit except for the fact that he said that he did not want it based on what was said above. But, you certainly do not need to credit every idea that you write in a paper that someone else has come up with previously. Every time you use a formula, you do not need to cite to the originator.
As for the second paragraph, no shit. So that is what they were talking about all that time in intellectual property.
But, in this talk about what exactly is plaigiarism, etc., I think we have forgotten the real original point, which is that IH is a drama queen bitch. |

Date: March 14th, 2005 4:47 PM Author: Fighting zombie-like shrine You do need to credit every idea you use in a paper that is not your own, unless that idea is considered to be in the body of common knowledge.
"As for the second paragraph, no shit. So that is what they were talking about all that time in intellectual property."
That's a funny response coming from you, since you asserted above that you could not copyright an idea when that is irrelevant to a determination of whether plagiarism occurred. I guess you should have paid more attention in IP class.
As to your third paragraph, I think you did an excellent job forgetting the real issue: whether there was plagiarism. |

Thread title: GTO, IH seeking research assistants for study
Date: November 21st, 2004 1:57 PM Author: IH (486hunter@gmail.com)
As you may be aware, GTO and I are attempting a study on employment outcomes for students at Vault+ law firms. The data set is *massive.* Through approximately 20% of the data, we have accounted for 25 law firms, 361 branch offices and 4112 associates.
The best study ever done on employment outcomes has been Prof. Leiter's study which, I think we all agree, leaves a lot to be desired. We can do *much* better but we could use some help.
We are seeking a research assistant/consultant to help us with the data entry (going to firm websites, finding the law schools of recent assocuates and entering it into Excel), to sift through OCI data and try to find some rhyme and reason to the hiring process and to spitball study design ideas with us.
Your qualifications should include:
(1) A working familiarity with Microsoft Excel
(2) Some knowledge of statistics
(3) An interest in the topic and the type of toolishness it takes to do something like this
(4) Some free time
(5) Not required but knowledge of the OCI process and of law firm hiring in general would be helpful
What the fuck do you get out of this?
Well not much. It's certainly not glamorous. But you DO get your name on this massive paper which we hope will impact the legal world in some way and that we will try our damndest to get published. And if you are a statistics tool like we are, it should be fun. You will join myself, GTO and one other research assitant/consultant on this project.
If you are interested, please submit a listing of your qualifications to 486hunter@gmail.com.

He seems to be upset because he thinks you're taking credit for something you shouldn't (ethically) take credit for. He may or may not be correct, but it seems to be how he feels. He may not want you to say 'IH developed this,' but he does want you to say 'GTO did not develop this.' |

Please. You worked on it TOGETHER you decided out of different methodologies one to use, meanstwhile you explained it to GTO because he wasn't as well versed in the methodolgy as you and then you worked out the kinks together and proceeded.
GTO has admitted that you were a key reason he used the methodology. You suggested it, exaplined it, weighed other options, and then Y'ALL together decided to use it.
You don't want your name on the paper, so what do you want? GTO to fellate you in front of the entire xoxo community of douchetards who don't give a fuck about it or you anyway? OR re-do his ENTIRE STUDY b/c you changed your mind? If I was GTO, I wouldn't give you a footnote even if that is what you wanted because you bailed out of the project after too much work was done already, not giving him the option as the author to decide whether he wanted to use something he would have to credit to you. You are like a whiny baby Leiter, someone who wants so bad to be a credible source and academically superior but is basically just a shameless self-promoter who wants everyone to do things according to his own whims.
I think you have caused enough of a nuisance and brought plenty of light to the fact already. You are the worst drama queen whore of this board. Not even Julia would start a thread like this.
GTO has sufficiently agreed you knew more about it that he did. So that leaves us two choices now, neither of which is acceptable, and imo neither is "right" b/c like I said GTO was too far in the study to have a meaningful choice to whether he wanted to have to credit you or whether he wanted to find a new methodology.
Choice #1 : Get a footnote-but you don't want this Choice #2: GTO re-does the entire study-ridiculous Choice #3: GOI
I think we all want you to pick #3. HTH. |

FIRST, he publicly issues a cryptic ultimatum to GTO and rach. What does rach even have to do with this incident? I suspect that IH mentioned him in his ultimatum thread solely for the purpose of piquing our curiosity about what the problem was. Had he only mentioned GTO, it would've been obvious that the dispute related to the study, and IH would not have received as much intrigue-based attention.
THEN, he announces his latest retirement.
FINALLY, he -- shockingly -- comes out of retirement to air his grievances with GTO. He claims that he's only making his dispute public because GTO failed to publicly apologize. That's disingenuous. I suspect that IH calculated for this line of threads to receive maximum attention.
It isn't much of a stretch of my imagination to think that IH scripted every last word at the outset of this drama. |

Date: March 14th, 2005 1:23 PM Author: Pearl forum sandwich IH, you're sounding like a real pussy.
The solution to this is for you to be credited on this paper. However, you just don't *want* that. I don't know why, and I don't care why-- I just know that your feeling isn't sensical.
I don't see why you want him to start "anew" if your formula isn't all that unique-- it seems more along the lines of an "approach" rather than a patentable program or something.
If you want credit, take it. If not, don't. What's next? Are you going to ask him to not study the associates at top 200 law firms either, because that was your idea, and instead suggest he should find some other way to measure how students from law schools fare in biglaw?
GTO-- If you want to publish this, I'd suggest you credit IH there, regardless of his whinings. No respectable journal will publish somethign like this with the instant issue lurking in the background. |

After that, you should feel absolutely no reason to change your study. I like the guy and all, but he's flat wrong here and his demands are irrational and unfair. There's no theory of "I'm going home and taking my ball with me" in collaborative authorship. He contributed ideas to the collaborative project and he has every right to demand credit. If he doesnt want credit, he has the right to have his name removed. But that's all he has a right to.
He's wrong both in why he left the study and why he is pissed at your final product. That said, even if its against his wishes, you should note his contributions so you don't give off the appearance of taking full credit and/or stealing his ideas. |

Date: April 1st, 2008 1:04 PM Author: Sexy provocative field double fault i don't really know about GTO's study but from what i've gleaned from cursory glances here and there, it's total useless bullshit. the only credited ranking of placement would go as follows:
rank firms by revealed preferences, NOT vault rankings (which often fly in the face of RP). rank school/gpa combinations. the method only needs to involve normalizing gpas to a 4.0 scale and a rudimentary adjustment according to median gpa/lsat (e.g. 3.5 at H=3.65 at NYU, etc.). then map school/gpa combinations to offers received.
to the extent that any ranking substitutes "easier to get" statistics for revealed preferences, that ranking is utterly worthless and results in patently false outcomes, such as ranking yale as anything but #1 for placement.
none of you fags needs to credit me for this method. HTH. |
