Lies, damned lies, and statistics. 
you prove it. Show me with numbers how once in 10,000 times the middle school team will beat the pro team. Look I get it, You're a statistician. You don't have to jump in every thread and argue that middle school team has a chance to beat the pro team because its not statistically impossible. There are English teachers here who don't jump in and correct every misspelled word or bad sentence. This is a casual conversation, guys talking shite and shooting the shite about sports and you jump in with BS like margin of error. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE there's a time a place for you to do what you do, it's not here IMO 
I don't mind taking about stats bro but you take it past the point of enjoyment.

You don't have to jump in every thread and argue that middle school team has a chance to beat the pro team be use its not statistically impossible.
quote:So when discussing quantifiable outcomes, it's BS to discuss their quantifiable properties? Wow.
This is a casual conversation about sports and you jump in with BS like margin of error.
quote:Well it was a very basic argument that playing teams with better records will naturally decrease in the probability of wins. It's a very simple argument, but you decided to ignorantly dismiss it and provide nothing but unsupported conjecture, such as your argument that they would win 9 out of 10 vs. a 0.300 AND a 0.350 team.

I prefer to fight ignorance with facts and logic, which in this case was rudimentary probability theory.
