yes, i assumed that the knowledge of the tens if not hundreds of people who visit this forum every day would be far greater then the knowledge of a single individual.

this reminds me of the joke:

a guy wanted to know how long the king’s nose was, so he asked everyone in the town, how long they thought the king’s nose was. then he took an average of all these estimates to determine the size of the king’s nose. it so happened that this king never went outside, so the people in the town had never seen him or his nose. However, the guy figured that an estimate from a lot of people would provide a better answer than just asking the king’s son, who has seen his father, the king, but is only a single individual.
