I did, but only because someone else discussed an election.. I just continued the metaphor.
You're pretty tiring man.
I have changed it to a Starbucks analogy, I hope you find that less confusing.

Sorry dood, but 9 isn't 9% of 8400.
We're talking about 1/10th of 1%.

Sure I'll play this game.
Imagine Ron Paul ran for president and the same percentage of US residents voted for him as there are Engineers on record against the OS.
The US has 300M people.

Listen.
The point is simple.
1000 is a very small percentage of the millions of engineers in the world.
If you had 2%, maybe you could claim there's a huge silent majority, but less than 1/10th of 1%.. cmon.
And guess what, I'm not claiming what the others believe, but it's clear that if there a popular belief amongst engineers, there'd be more evidence.
Like I said, most studies and polls say anything less than 1% is essential statistically insignificant.
So, why go around saying, "a statistically insignificant number of engineers agree with me?"
You might as well say, "a majority of people that think America is secretly run by satanic cults agree with me".
Both are meaningless.

You're kidding right?
Weren't you the one that claimed I was a proven liar because I decided to stay up a few extra minutes?
Chris isn't go to bed therefore 9/11 is an inside job.
And you'll still accuse me of being petty.
Believe me, math is more important to figuring out if those were demos than if I stick to my stated bed time plan.

I can do simple math just fine. I just do not bother doing math that comes from a bad premise. If I cannot get past your premise, why would I check your numbers?
Listen.

That is right. What percentage of those millions have spoken out in favor of the OS?
If you had 2%, maybe you could claim there's a huge silent majority, but less than 1/10th of 1%.. cmon.
Where do you get any number on which to base the silent majority? You are just assuming that a small percent of vocal people means an even lower percent keeping quiet. You do realize that works both ways. There is an even smaller amount of them speaking out in favor of the OS so according to you and even smaller amount quietly support the OS. That means 1% believe the OS is a lie. Less than that believe it is true. The rest have not said anything at all so you have nothing but assumptions.
You are right, it is simple. Why can't you get it?
And guess what, I'm not claiming what the others believe, but it's clear that if there a popular belief amongst engineers, there'd be more evidence.
Evidence of what? How is it clear? Just saying things makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it? You are gonna live forever and always be happy too!
Like I said, most studies and polls say anything less than 1% is essential statistically insignificant.
Less than 1% of what? You keep saying the whole but you do not have a sample of the whole to measure with. You only have this number. You need to show us that an even greater percentage back the OS in order for any of what you are saying to be valid.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR YOU?
So, why go around saying, "a statistically insignificant number of engineers agree with me?"
I am not sure. You are the one with the lower number of engineers voicing agreement with you. You tell me. I apparently have about 1000. How many do you have?
You might as well say, "a majority of people that think America is secretly run by satanic cults agree with me".
Both are meaningless.
That is just silly. snip

This is absurd:
You can't do math or read.
This is the FIRST PARAGRAPH of his post:
"No, actually they don't count, so I'm going to shut you down right here. During an election, only those who get off their butts to get out and vote to elect presidents, governors and congresspeople, count in electing said officials. Those who did not vote do not count in the election results."
So, you're resorting to calling me a liar, when you are absolutely incompetent.
You couldn't find questions ONE PAGE BACK.
You can't do basic math.
You call me petty after branding me a liar because I stayed up later than I'd originally stated.
You call me a liar, even though the proof is in the SECOND SENTENCE of the FIRST PARAGRAPH of the post... and even after the word ELECTION IS BOLDED.
Honestly, I wouldn't trust your opinion 9/11 at all because you're, like I said, incompetent.
Ignore me please.

When the brother of the president is on the board of directors for the security company of the WTC, anything can happen.
Besides, not many people had access or needed to be in the cores of the towers and that's where the explosives would have been placed. In the cores, out of sight of everyone.
if GPS was used, then they would.

Russia Today is NOT a credible source.
So 1/10th of 1% of the worlds engineers think 9/11 was a demo, that isn't actually very impressive.
Statistically, that means NO engineers do, because most surveys/studies have a margin of error of AT LEAST 1%.
So less than a 10th of that is meaningless.
Russia Today = Fail
Statistically insignificant number of engineers = fail
And on and on...

Please quote where I said he was on the board on 9/11. Oh you can't quote me because I didn't say that? Well, that means you would be the dishonest one.
