    Umm, no, OK, I give up. 'We' do look stupid.

    Yeah next thing ya know those chumps will dream up some flash new stadium you can't play cricket in. Oh wait.
    At least the university oval is great for tests.

    Ānd I found a white pants diatribe side. I'm sure there are many more.

  • Field Theory: On Averages,

    Well they clearly haven't thought it through. Not only are there the implications you've discussed, but do we really want anyone to encourage the wearing of white pants?

    How can you have a blue cloud James? Apart from anything else, it would very difficult to see against the background.

    It would be pretty obvious on an otherwise overcast day, if all the rest of the clouds were grey. or orange for that matter. I'm not sure what an orange cloud would be symbolic of, however.

  • Field Theory: On Averages,

    I can't believe I missed this graph debate. FWIW, I think if you're trying to compare multiple trends on the same graph, then a clustered bar chart would be rubbish.

    Technically incorrect use of line graphs is pretty prevalent in my experience of science as well. Even if you have two nominal factors, it's quite quite common to show them as a line graph to present it as a cross-over interaction. (If you [http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/expfact.phpscroll down on this page]] you'll see what I mean).

    So apparently there is a silver lining to the blue cloud.

    "ACT improved 135%" - and still ended up within the margin of error for most opinion polls, in case you're tempted to claim a greater mandate than is warranted.

    It is of course, the margin of error for a party with exactly 50% of the vote. For a party polling about 4%, their margin of error is only about 1.3%

  • Island Life: The Art of the Deal,

    I underestimated the size of their thesaurus. The deal with ACT, just announced, includes an "advisory group" and a "task force". Top work, wordsmiths.
    A feasibility study can't be far away. Possibly even a Commission.

    Yes. It appears that we are reducing bureaucracy by creating an unprecedented number of advisory groups, task forces etc.
    I await with baited breath the announcement that they will be increasing levies so that was can have tax cuts.

    A 100% chance it turns out.

    Bahahahaha. My a priori probability was about 10%. It is a pretty common first name, and also quite popular as a middle-name.

    Anyway, sounds like you might be inline to get a call from Fiona at UDC asking about your late payments on a Mitsubishi L200...

    James Green, I've found you at last! You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

    There's got to be a reasonable chance that Hadyn's middle name is James, so it might be him you were after...
