re: #473 J.S.

this reminds me of a stats problem…Let’s suppose you’re a manufacturer of a certain product, and you’re also concerned about “quality control.” Now you realize that every widget produced cannot be 100 percent perfect (there may be some superficial blemish, but it’s within the range of the acceptable.) However, there can be a “bad” widget (fails quality control). Now of course you lack the resources to inspect each and every widget. So you take a randomized sample after each production run. Depending on how many widgets are produced each run, you look up in a stats table the number you need to get a representative sample, you randomly select that number and check ‘em out for quality. Question — what’s the cut-off point? that is, at what point does the whole batch end up in the garbage? this is a Chi-square problem. (and this relates to the Tea Parties…but what you need to know is this — “who’s attending? what’s the composition of the group of attendees?” Then, you’d have to get a randomized sample and ask them questions. Get enough Ron Paulers or KKKers and “the batch is ruined.” But if it’s at a .001 percent level “bad” — do you “garbage it”? In other words, would a single Ron Paul supporter in a group of 1,000 be sufficient to denounce Tea Parties? or should there be a different “cut off” mark?

Coming up as a kid I was taught that if I wanted to make a point use exaggeration so as it’s more easily understood. That’s what I did when I used the term “ALL”. I exaggerated when I said:

He’s also somehow managed to paint ALL Tea parties as lovefests for Paulians and Supremacists.

That was strawman attack I admit. But yet I don’t see Killgore responding to this comment nor comment 455. He’ll just keep posting videos.
