Who is the QSD Kid?

Introducing Wally Occam: Modern-Day Archetype

Here's the first thing to know about the one they call The QSD Kid:

He isn’t that genius kid in the photo below, the one he's associated with. That’s the Kid's stand-in double, Samuel Reshevsky. He was recruited for metaphorical purposes. The QSD Kid’s real name is Wally Occam. That said, some significant differences between Sam and Wally should be mentioned. 

For starters, Sam was a real person. Wally Occam is an archetype. Sam was a super genius. Wally is the epitome of normal. He represents what it means to be a perfectly average 12-year-old kid. Wally Occam's IQ is exactly 100; he eats a bit too much junk food and gets mostly C's in school. Last year, Wally noted that when he focuses, he's much closer to the 'smart' kids than he previously thought.

In the fine Occam family tradition, Wally was taught at a very early age that grown-ups don’t always have the correct understandings of things. This speaks to his archetypal purpose, his metaphorical reason for being:

As a 21st-century modern-day archetype, Wally Occam symbolizes all that it takes to defeat a "grown ups' belief that has, over what is now centuries, devolved into a dogmatic fixture across much of academia: 

An understanding of elementary school math and highly accessible data whose authenticity is beyond all reasonable doubt.

Other than that, there isn’t much else to say about the real QSD Kid.

Aside from the fact that his dad invented the Occam Power Mower, of course, after that time Wally's parents were called to the principal’s office.

In closing, the questions we pose to the reader are these:

Will Wally Occam retain his status as an archetype that can expose a major flaw in classical science using only elementary school math?

Or, will someone find a legitimate fatal flaw in the QSD Kid’s research?

Wally doesn't mind being corrected, if that can be done. He has pledged to let people know if this happens on the same landing page where his QSD checkmate cases are now.  In the meantime, he will continue to publish certified QSD case studies so our understanding of science can evolve.
