Well, this was an interesting thread, I will definitely have to follow some of the math concepts mentioned above. My response was at least partly flippant, as I do not think humans are quite that easy to model, but I do appreciate the fact that some people at least pretended to take it seriously for the sake of FriAm. It is a good cause.
Steve, sorry my sentence was not clear to you. It is something that I have experienced from both sides a lot recently, to the point that I wonder whether, in the few times it seems I have communicated well, whether it was all just a fantastic coincidence, where my perception that the other person understood me (or vice versa) was just another concept subject to misinterpretation. More likely, though, it is just an indicator that I need to pay more attention to listening and editing. For those who enjoy being more evasive with meaning, who like constructing unlikely sentences (as I and I suspect some of you do), I found an interesting site:

Doug, I gladly accept the honour of Sentence of the Year, although I have not paid sufficient attention for the past 9 months to confirm this, and there are still some months to go. Since this is the double distinction of apparently being the first to receive this award
at least under that name, I would like to reciprocate by admiring the prodigious one-liner delivered not three emails after mine.
Thank you.
