Well, if you were arguing what you say you were, you were arguing AGAINST us who were arguing the point you say you were trying to make.

Heck, you look back a bit you see me state that point flat out in one of the posts.,

But I think this illustrates exactly what several other people have said your problem is: YOu are so tied up in being right, that you don't even CONSIDER what the rest of us are saying, even when its not disagreeing with the point you were tryign to make.

But you keep doing it repeatedly. YOu will sometimes admit you were wrong, but it takes five or six pages, if you woudl just examine the possibility that a criticism MIGHT be correct in the first place, you could avoid whole pages of arguments. I'm not trying to be nasty to you here, I'm trying to help, really.

What are the odds of drawing a "47" out of 50 numbers, numbered 1 to 50, even if you're keen to selecting "47s"...what are the odds gentlemen? 50-50 because either I'll draw a 47 or I wont.

The odds of making a free throw are 50-50. 50-50 because I suck at shooting free throws.



I must have the same understaning of mathmatics as the Col.

Its not even really fifty fifty the first time. YOu just have limited knowledge of the factors going into the probability.

Ya that I would agree with you as well, just for the first shot there would be a billion factors on the first FT shot you ever took, AGE, sports you played, knowledge of FT, and what not.

Are there things that make you angry? What do you do when you're angry? Do you have ways of showing you're angry? Ways that don't hurt you or anybody else? Sure everyone gets angry sometimes. The important thing to remember is there are many things we can do when we're feeling angry or sad or happy...many things that don't hurt ourselves or anybody else.

Colonel you argument was "There are only two possible outcomes, therefore there is a 50/50 chance one will happen" - that is how the lightning question comes into play and is 100% relevant.

Again, are you arguing that teams DON'T come back from down 21? I'm arguing a 47 point swing between halves in a sim game with concrete numerical ratings....a team goes from -22 one half to +25 the next half to win by 3....and this is a matchup between the #1 and #2 teams in the nation...really?

15 point swing in 4 minutes between a #1 and a #3 team in the NT. best game I've seen in a long time.



just sayin'
