The work may have been sponsored by more than one group, but I think it was executed by one group, according to that group's protocols. We are certainly splitting hairs, here.

So I guess no one has anything with which to refute the findings.

An opinion can't be refuted.

I'm thinking The Magic Café should be a mandatory class requirement for Debating 101.
...or Mob Psychology 404, in the case of the RS thread.

Hi Bob,
I read the reports on a few of the states. The "grades" and the methodology still seem rather opaque to me. The supporting data consist of breezily written articles about the issues. I don't see much evidence of a rigorous, objective method involving verifiable endpoints. But that's just my opinion! |

Some of the debating societies poll the audience before and after the debate, to detect if there has been a shift following the presentations.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Hmmm, turns out we're in the top 10 (uh, is that top 10 cleanest or most corrupt?)
Oh. There it is at the bottom, #10 cleanest with a "C," I'm surprised.
