Dani made an error! Proof inside

The following is an IM conversation with Dani.

manGO jellytoast: List is on my dune of books to read one day
manGO jellytoast: ...


Dani later realized that she meant to say "Dune is on my list of books to read one day"

She gave me permission to reproduce this part of the conversation.

I suppose we all make typos from time to time.

edmullaney26: They would all be angry if I entered their chat again tonight.
manGO jellytoast: yeah
manGO jellytoast: they would
edmullaney26: It would be funny to see
manGO jellytoast: no

 

That is true.
Your point being?

 

She didn't make the mistake of inviting you.

 

That remains to be seen.

 

He will blindly defend her to the point of death.

 

manGO jellytoast: you're totally nuts
edmullaney26: Am I?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

It's true.

 

Perhaps.
Or maybe I'm just sane and everyone else is insane?
Did you ever once consider that?

 

Yes, and it isn't true.

 

Is there any evidence to indicate this?

 

Do I need to start another poll?

 

They prove nothing.
You would need to poll at least 1000 people to make it scientifically accurate.

edmullaney26: So don't worry. I am going to thank you in advance for tonight's invite
edmullaney26: I don't know when I will click on it
edmullaney26: but I will
edmullaney26: in time
manGO jellytoast: no seriously
manGO jellytoast: you're nuts
edmullaney26: Why thank you

 

I miss Dani. She doesn't come to my site anymore.



Dune and all subsequent Dune novels are outstanding reads. I have them all and I highly recommend them.

 

"You would need to poll at least 1000 people to make it scientifically accurate."

Wow, I guess you didn't pay very much attention to the methodology of most of the polls conducted in the months leading up to the election, did you? Many were samples of fewer than 700 people, and had an MOE of less than 5%.

Yet another example of Seldon getting information that is simple and readily available TOTALLY WRONG.

AYBABTU

 

Okay, why don't we just trust you for everything from now on, Rhett? Seldon obviously isn't able to produce the right material for anything.

Okay sugarlumpkins?

 

Dani making a mistake is not a new thing

That being said, it's much more fun to snark stupid people than smart people whose fingers occasionally flub up.

 

I am well aware of how many people they poll.
If you took a laboratory science however, you would know for it to be scientifically valid thousands must be tested.

-Seldon

 

Well who here actually cares about science and its effects on polling? Probably just you Seldon. I know I don't care. A polls a poll, thats all you can really say about them.

~PK~

 

I don't care, I'm just pointing it out.
Also Rhett, do you see 800 people voting in these polls? I sure don't.

Another thing there is a reason why Jeff wins these polls. He has many friends on the JC, I don't have many and I would not bother the ones I have to vote in some silly poll.

-Seldon

 

Anyone want to see my poll?

 

Yes, please.

~PK~

 

No way, PrincessKenobi, my poll is definetely is definetely statistically superior to SLR's.

 

Well then why don't the both of you prove it? No way for me to tell or anyone to chose if you guys don't share.

~PK~

 

Ok PK, brace yourself.

*rips out poll*
