Illusions - "tuttle's example points only points out that he doesn't have any idea what the real problem is! You can't come to his conclusion by looking at 2 or 3 pages...you can't come to his conclusion by guessing or assuming or estimating." That's right, Illusions! My data pales in comparison to the comprehensive stats you've presented. Oh! My mistake! You haven't even tried to present any, you just dig yourself deeper into an already prodigious hole. Man, if I'd written that post I'd be on my back with my legs in the air like a beetle, cringing with horror. You can't try and tell me what my statements mean. I made them. I know what they mean. You got it wrong. Face up to it. It happens to the best of us. Comments like "but who can say how many more will be uploading 3 a day" and "You have to cull data from every gallery for multiple days and break it out by gallery...otherwise it's invalid" show an ignorance of basic mathematics, statistical techniques and the extrapolation of trends. Just to give you a hint - unless you have proof of substantial variation in a dataset then extrapolation from a small portion of data is a perfectly valid way to demonstrate the behaviour of the whole set. If you wish to argue stats and trends with me, if you think you can present a reasoned case as to where I might have so far gone wrong, please feel free, but I'll guarantee you'll not get far! lol! If you just want to bluster and dig, dig, dig then that's fine too! "According to that post, your last words on the matter were 25 posts ago...guess not hmmm?" Your shoulders must be aching from all that digging...
