Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 876775, member: 40"] Funny you should bring that up--because that example kind of proves the point I make above. The original mathematical models did NOT weigh the human polls nearly as heavily, and people complained, so they adjusted the relative impacts of the weighting--thereby reintroducing too much human subjectivity into the mix. Again, that isn't a flaw in the model / approach, it is a flaw of weighting those specific factors too heavily. The inputs and their weightings were tweaked every year. [/QUOTE]
