The logic of why this TRICK works for a Gaussian. From my textbook log(f(x,y)/(f(x) f(y))) can be zero with nonzero correlation for nonGaussian distributions, that is, all nonGaussian members of the Stable Distribution. https://t.co/fXgQE45oHk — PolitiTweet.org

@birdxi1988 Outside the Gaussian, \frac{f[x,y],f[x] f[y]} can be !=0 yet have a correlation =0. — PolitiTweet.org

MATH vs BS: The great thing with probability/stats is that mathematical claims can ALWAYS be busted w/math, as I did w/finance. Granted @saifedean is a known fraud/impostor, this illustrates the denial of math/stat BECAUSE they can't use it AND it doesn't confirm their biases. https://t.co/ksxO6E35fj — PolitiTweet.org
