@BFD, thank you for this thread. It is honestly one of my favorites in the forum. I have read the whole thing and honestly have enjoyed it greatly. It is a pleasant surprise to me every time I see it re-emerge after a period of dormancy.
I think my favorite part so far was on April 20th. In response to your statement that there, ‘was no data supporting randomness,’ @Garanwyn linked to a thread with (by far) the most credible attempt to analyze if boards are actually random. You then came into the thread, on the same day, and responded to four posts, essentially reiterating your stance, and completely ignoring Garanwyn’s post. Did you read the thread that actually presents data on this issue? What did you think? Can you present an equally compelling case?
