gollark: It seems reasonable to fear powerful and highly footgun-y tools.
gollark: You're just assuming something is symmetric because you... have examples of values on both sides?
gollark: Don't do that, it's actually bad.
gollark: (I do not know enough population genetics to say and I'd be handwavily guessing half the parameters anyway)
