Hehe...There are a few disputing it vocally. Whether they're in their right mind, well... Shannow Send a noteboard - 29/10/2012 10:45:07 AM
To repeat my point: A perfect Bell Curve does not reflect the data from the books.


Well, no one in their right mind could possibly dispute that.


I cannot comment on their state of mind. They dogmatically try and fit the data into the Bell Curve distribution, which simply cannot apply in the way that they wish it to. The evidence refutes it.

That the 1000 Novices aren't a random sample of the population? fionwe1987 - 29/10/2012 08:23:47 PM 742 Views

That's exactly the point. I want you to explain why it wasn't random. Tor - 30/10/2012 02:14:59 PM 770 Views
