Well now, this is quite the conundrum! We all recently saw your passionate arguments about the centered dot for multiplication – how ‘nowhere in my education’ had you encountered it, how it supposedly ‘doesn’t add value but only confusion,’ and your bold call for ISO to revise their standards.
But then, imagine my surprise when I came across one of your earlier posts – Calculation of partial derivative of the cost function for logistic regression - Machine Learning Specialization / Supervised ML: Regression and Classification - DeepLearning.AI– where, clear as day, you yourself are using that very same centered dot for multiplication in your own handwritten work!
So, one has to wonder: if you were comfortably using this notation yourself before you launched your critique, what inspired your later claims of complete unfamiliarity and your campaign against its ‘confusing’ nature? Did you perhaps forget your own prior usage when you decided the international standard needed your urgent revision? It certainly makes one reconsider the foundation of those strongly defended opinions. Truly fascinating!
