Re: there are dozens of reasons for this Tor Send a noteboard - 29/10/2012 09:07:35 PM
Look at the TR for instance. We've seen many more uber-channelers come from that tiny region and a much higher % that would be expected from such a small region. Dozens of men and women have been picked up by both Towers from the TR and they are ALL strong enough to be AS.

You are both trying to apply a total population % to isolated regional variations and tiny populations of the overall channeling pool.


Again, 1000 is not a tiny sample, and, also again, aren't you now saying that genetics is relevant to sampling strength? What other explanation could there be for regional variations?

That the 1000 Novices aren't a random sample of the population? fionwe1987 - 29/10/2012 08:23:47 PM 837 Views
And why would it be biased towards those with lower strength? Tor - 29/10/2012 09:11:25 PM 854 Views

Only if it was a random sampling. Which this is not. fionwe1987 - 30/10/2012 01:58:34 PM 944 Views
That's exactly the point. I want you to explain why it wasn't random. Tor - 30/10/2012 02:14:59 PM 870 Views
