This post is about "the compulsion to replace quantities with dichotomies (‘black-and-white thinking’), even when such dichotomization is unnecessary and misleading for inference" -- I don't understand why they're calling this deterministic thinking!
As far as I can see the phenomenon they're talking about has nothing to do with the quality of being deterministic, and I didn't notice any explanation of why they've chosen that particular word. Is there some other notion of deterministic aside from the usual one?
