No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I couldn't even get to page 2 without voting. Virgil - that's just wrong. I should be able to read the complete thread before voting!

36 to 17. You leopard-worshiping people make me sick! Sick I say! I vow to procure one snow leopard pelt for each of those 36 votes.

You all think I'm kidding.
The snow leopard evil is retained by its pelt. It's been well documented that wearers of uncian pelts quickly turn to ritual cannibalism, grotesque mutilation of their face and arms...
The list goes on.

WTE? I wasn't allowed to even vote!!! It wouldn't let me vote either. I think he reprogrammed it that way so people's votes don't count if they don't vote the way he wants them to. He must be from Florida.

I've locked the poll.
It seems to me that the two answers are about even, barring a small margin of error.
Clearly we see a wise element among board patrons that share my righteous disdain for the uncia. This is no longer some "fringe theory" as some would like to characterize it.

If 12 votes were miscast, you get a perfect 50:50 split. I've seen at least that many "Hey, I didn't want to vote for that!" posts thus far.
I stand by my thoroughly scientific assessment.

Yet you claim to be an engineer. If 12 votes were miscast into the nondefault selection, it would still be 32 to 33 and not a perfect 50:50 split. What a sad state the Canadian educational system must be in.

ONLY if the 12 miscast votes were cast incorrectly as "EErs suck." Not to mention the fact that even then, it would still only be 32-33, which is NOT a perfect 50/50 split.

GMTA! I'd give you a high five, but my work blocks scripts, so I'd have to do way more work than should be required of a slacker to do that.

"as close as a perfect 50:50 split can be realized given an odd number of votes exist and the number of votes cast for each alternative must evaluate to a natural number" Engineer says: "perfect 50:50 split" And my reasons for assuming all of those votes were miscast in favor of snow leopards is... complicated. It involves cumulants, multivariable Ito calculus and the like. Theoretically rock-solid, but nothing you could comprehend, ah'm sure.

Theoretically rock-solid, but nothing you could comprehend, ah'm sure. At least this part is true. There's no way I (or anyone else for that matter) could understand your reasoning. Or should I say, "reasoning."

Where is the Monte Carlo analysis? Where is the Shapiro-Francia Test backup? Professional Engineer says: "Lies! Lies! Don't disrespect numbers that way!"
