“Smell test” just say vibes dumbass
Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this
jwt@programming.dev 3 weeks agoI’m not comparing it to anything, I’m judging it at face value, and it doesn’t pass the smell test. It leads to countries with a one-party system getting scored +5 on pluralism. That ‘does not track’.

China, for example, has 8 parties in addition to the CPC, and has many different administrative divisions. It isn’t the same kind of pluralism as found in western countries, so it’s difficult to compare one to one. Investigating how the question was asked will reveal a lot more about how it is interpreted by the people of China.
