Actually mostly trying not to think about this as much as possible for the next 2 months so if there was a bet it would be saying sure I bet $100 and I trust you to work out a fair answer without needing me and let me know in 2 months.
I see. 100 $ does not feel enough to set up a bet. @vicky_cox and @Vince Mak 🔸, you are welcome to reach out to me if you know about people at AIM, ACE, or elsewhere using SADs who may be interested in a similar bet, and willing to bet at least 300 $.
weeatquince, best wishes for your future projects.
Similarly words like “torture” have more weight than words like “9.5 out of 10 on the pain scale”.
I think surveys assessing WFI’s pain intensities should rely on their definitions, and give concrete examples of pain, like Cynthia’s “severe burning in large areas of the body, dismemberment, or extreme torture” for the case of excruciating pain. I would say asking people to compare “2/10 pain” with “9/10 pain” tells us very little about WFI’s pain intensities unless there is separate evidence about what people are imagining for each number on the that scale, and that results are comparable across people. Having WFI’s definitions, and concrete examples would decrease ambiguity a lot.
