Reply #86: I merely misphrased it. It should have read; "So far off FROM the MOE"

I'm quite familiar with the differences and likenesses. Do you not recognize that the MOE uses the same functional standard as the WPE? Do you not understand what I'm saying?

I'm beginning to think I'm dealing with people who think they know more than they really do. So far no one's told me anything I don't already know.

When I tried to figure out where foo was coming from, he went 'condescending asshole' on me, so fuck him.

I'll ask you; "Do you understand the discrepancies (deviation from MOE in this case) tend to be greater where there is either A) Fraud. or there are B) DREs/central tabulating computers?"

If the answer is 'no', then I know I'm wasting my time because the facts are pretty conclusive on that question.

NOW... I know that I used an absolute when I said "It only 'ever' happens when...", and I know that it must be possible for EPs to be off where no fraud has occured, but foo came at that exactly wrong in two ways;

1) Without definitive evidence, ie; vindication of methods where the MOE was significantly exceeded, no one can know that my statement is wrong. In the case of the statement I made, there is a MOUNTAIN of evidence to back up what I said. Otherwise I acknowledge my error in the use of an absolute... I seldom make that mistake.

2) Accusing me of 'deception' when the facts do more to support my assertion than detract from it.


If he didn't go asshole on me, we might have got to the bottom of it.


Now... do you understand what I just said?
