anyway- revoting in that way to get the actual value of the standard deviation is impossible. this means that i am in a way talking out of my ass when i say the standard deviation would be 2 or 3%, HOWEVER thats usually a good measure for these things. if the vote came out 90% in favor of exiting, i wouldnt make this argument at all because its obvious that theres overwhelming support for
like i said, because we have to live in reality and people do change and these trials are not independent of one another, its hard to just take a "second" vote. we wouldnt just "keep voting", i know thats silly. i would say that someone smarter and more wise than me should set a barrier, that the vote cant just pass 50.0000001%... or 51%, or 52%. it should have to pass maybe 55% or 60. MAYBE? again, the actual number is not something i know enough to claim
