    Isn't the whole point that human perception is flawed? That's why we have to rely on statistics to make unbiased judgements.
    Agree completely. My point is more that using relatable terms like "fairness" can be more meaningful for a non-specialist audience than statistical terms like "variance", even if they're less precise.

    I think it depends how it's presented. I personally didn't see any value in the chart you may be referring to in this thread beyond a graphical presentation of an opinion, for purposes of discussion, but I have to admit I didn't think it was presented as anything more than that.

    Well, I don't know, I was given that information. I was given that. We had a very big margin. Actually, I've seen that information around. But it was a very substantial victory, do you agree with that?
