My concern is how I can construct a category withput knowing which construction method to select. Say my category is rationalist who use drug, does that mean anyone who did try something once upon a time? Does alcool count? Painkillers and meds? If I’m too strict, everyone and her grand-mother is testing addiction. Not useful. If I’m too relax, that’s a free pass for shamans, old rockers, wallstreet, and Ontario prime ministers who have been on drug for decades. So, how do you define rationalist who use drug so that’s a priori useful for either(you, the median occasional LW reader, the specific question of how we could have detected faster the present wave of complications from med abuse)?
