If it’s oh so important, don’t leave it buried at the bottom a thread of context.
It may surprise you to note that I linked to the comment from a very visible place in the discussion.
Why should we care about your parameter, rather than Wei Dai’s? Why should we care about any parameter?
Because Wei Dai asked for how to generate a solution that makes epistemic sense, and mine was the only one that accurately incorporated the concept of “probability of being at a given intersection”.
And of course, Wei_Dai saw fit to use the p q r parameters just the same.

Exhuming it and putting it on display doesn’t solve the problem of context. People who clicked through (I speak from experience) didn’t see how it did what the link said it did. It was plausible that if I reread the thread it would mean something, but my vague memory of the thread was that it went off in a boring direction.
My questions were not intended for you to answer here, yet further removed from the context where one might care about their answers. If you write something self-contained that explains why I should care about it, I’ll read it.
So you were interested in seeing the solution, but not looking at the context of the thread for anything that wasn’t familiar? Doesn’t sound like much of an interest to me. If I had repeated myself with a separate self-contained explanation, you would be whining that I’m spamming the same thing all over the place.
You weren’t aware that I put a prominent link to the discussion that resolves all the thread’s issues. That’s okay! Really! You don’t need to cover it up by acting like you knew about it all along. Wei_Dai cares about the new parameters q and r. The post I linked to explains what it accomplishes. Now, think up a new excuse.
