Thought dialing - the fraud

[Nostradamus]

It's easy to commit a fraud. All you need to do is type.

Frauds come in all forms. The easiest to do is the fraud in which the least effort is required.

Take the though dialing fraud. What was needed: 1 person and an internet connection.

That's a difficult one to do - NOT.

I'm listening.

[Nostradamus]

The only thing we know is that 6 people agreed to say the same thing given a choice of A or B.

Odds of that 50%.

[ciscop]

yes it was that easy..
the funny thing is he thinks he is fooling somebody

you know what roshambo is?
is a trick koenig created and uses simple Equivoque,
pretty unimpressive, like this stunt

[Nostradamus]

oh man you guys keep me busy looking up interesting stuff. Well thought dialing was completely boring, but I know what you're turning me onto csicop is probably going to be interesting.

[Nostradamus]

No evidence presented yet that the paranormal was involved.

[Nostradamus]

Still no answers to the protocol questions.

What are you trying to hide? So far as best can be determined the odds are 50%. Unless the results were faked then they drop to 0. Still we are willing to give you the better flip of a coin probability until you can show that the protocol support the independence requirement.

QUESTION: Are we speaking of Slim & Jim's Thought Dial thingy from Dark Radio?

[ProfWag]

[Nostradamus]

Craig I have asked a number of simple questions and all have gone unanswered.

For example, I asked where he got the odds. I was shown the answer from a math professor that had been contacted. The answer does not tell me what question was posed to the math professor. So far there has been a steadfast refusal to provide even the simple request to show us what had been asked.

I pointed out that the math answer provided by the professor used language that was a mathematical qualification of the answer. I don't think that was realized. It certainly isn't obvious to anyone out of the field that certain words have important meanings. Instead of seeing if the protocols met the requirements of the math there has been a stubborn silence.
