Mechanic opens the hood, looks in, gives the engine one THUMP! with his hammer, and closes the hood. The car runs again, good as new. Mechanic writes a bill for 500$. Customer is incensed. "500 bucks for one thump??" Mechanic takes the bill back, itemizes: one thump - $10. Knowing where - 490$. | |

| Sep 19, 2014 at 2:11 | comment | added | N Brouwer | Thanks for the thorough response. WRT "effort" invested relative to other authors, me seeking to be a member of the team working on a paper will undoubtedly seem audacious to many. However, I can get stuff done faster than my peers, either by doing it myself or helping them learn how to do it. For example, I spent an afternoon helping a friend clean data using R which he would've probably spent a month understanding & manipulating in Excel. Some might think I only spent a couple hours on the project, but I see it in terms of what I got done, not how long it took. | |
