So the one thing this says for sure is that JF is the weakest of the four. Even 77% confidence isn't very much evidence. This reiterates the claim that 1000 matches just isn't enough.

Nice study by Frank and thanks to Achim for doing the statistical calculations.

One technicality (which those of us here overlook, but wouldn't occur in a more formal report) is that 100.0% confidence isn't a proper reporting. Either 99.999... (whatever the proper number of nines) or just the normalized uncertainty (5.5 sigma or whatever it is) would be the acceptable method.
