Milton:

I am with Chuck. You are not obligated to read it. Also, I agree with you that we should wait until all comments are in before making any analysis/judgement. The good that I see in reading the comments as they come in is that it can give you an indication of what is to come. Obviously we had to see them all.

And I agree with Greg agreeing with everybody. I’m in a really agreeable mood today ;-)

Seriously, my point was exactly that we need to avoid either sequence or recency bias. When all the comments are in they should be processed and analyzed as a whole, each comment treated equally. I am sorry that Bernard doesn’t understand how sequence might privilege certain comments and I won’t bore with the explanation.

 

If others find the service useful I have no strong objection to them reading it. However, I would ask the chairs to enforce a ban, punishable by banishment to MySpace ;-), on anyone on this list saying, BEFORE the deadline, “oh the public comments are saying X so we have to do Y or Z” or any other form of premature analysis or conclusion-drawing from an incomplete set of comments.

I agree with everybody.  It's definitely helpful.  At the same time, we should consciously avoid privileging early comments in any fashion.  If these first submissions are any indication, that might not be too difficult.

 

We should also avoid the opposite. I seem to recall discussions in my college psych courses of two cognitive biases: the "primacy effect" and the "recency effect." While this is not really the same thing, it may be a useful analogy.  Milton cautions us against something analogous to the "primacy effect," if I recall correctly.  We should also caution ourselves against something like the "recency effect."  In other words, we should not let the order in which comments come in influence our attention to them.

As you would probably guess my previous comment Milton, I disagree.  It is not perfect but for me I find it helpful.  Anyone who doesn’t find it helpful can ignore it.

Appreciate the attempt but I am not sure this is a good idea. If this public comment period is like every one I have ever seen before, 90% of the comments will come on the day of the deadline or perhaps a day before. The running log therefore kind of privileges early comments as they trickle in. Then we will be hit with a deluge at the end anyway. Might be better to look at all comments after they all come in.
