Ray,
It seems that despite the ongoing discussion and the fact that Nathan and I have offered alternative definitions, your original two definitions submitted for your poll remain unchanged.
Furthermore, as they are written, it seems at least noticably clear to the reader that there is a prefered answer. I'm not sure that the statisticians of the world would approve of our scientific method here.
In any case, neither of those options represent any of the points I've made accurately, so regretably, I too must abstain from voting.
Pity.
I was enjoying the lively debate and was looking forward to your responses to my latest batch of 'what ifs'.
No hard feelings brother!
All in the name of greater human understanding. Let's do it again sometime.
