MCG: You are doing a statistical manipulation of short-term results. ... they have a high margin of error

Almost nobody (even well educated people) understands enough basic statistics to get what you're talking about. And then those that bandy about statistical concepts tend to get them wrong, sometimes egregiously. For example, the dice tube guy kept saying that his statistical tests proved that his dice tubes "achieved randomness," and persisted in saying this after I repeatedly told him that saying that was simply mathematically invalid.
