In Response To: eXtreme Gammon question (Timothy Chow)

The j.s.d. is a kind of average of two separate standard deviations (one for each play), and in general you need to know both standard deviations to answer the question, not just their average.

I don't see why. What we are trying to determine is whether the difference between the two plays is positive or negative, not the equities of the plays themselves.
