I understand. I only wanted to talk about how one would go about being sure for one's self of one's position regardless of which side of the argument one was on.
I certainly didn't want to start any conflict on the subject.
I agree with and support your decision to move the thread.
I will make a single post on FREEvpFREE to state my position on the subject and then recuse myself from further comment on this topic here or there, since I have no desire to become part of conflagration on this apparently excessively heated topic.
I'm discussing it with some math guys on other forums and will perhaps post a link for a free spreadsheet utility in a month or so. The utility will be merely a booking tool that includes probability functions that tells a person if they ran better or worse than expected...and if so by what margin, and how likely it is that their results could be within the realm of pure chance.
I'm sure some people on this forum might like to use it, so I'll just post the finished product.
(IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO EMAIL ME WITH INPUT FOR THE UTILITY PLEASE DO SO PRIVATELY)
