81. Not exactly....and Brad commented much more......

...effectively than most on this little Mitowsky-chestnut you've asked all of us to chew. Here's the link:

In case you don't want to read Brad's commentary then here's a Cannon-chestnut for you:

Joseph Cannon writes -- "No, Mr. Mitowsky. They should be compared to the score at half time at fifty football games. Better analogy: Fifty tosses of a coin. Error should skew in both directions; if the coin keeps coming up heads, something is wrong with that coin."

Enjoy.

Peace.
