Emphasis on "significant". Obviously there was bias on
the Illinois machines in 1984 or they wouldn't have had
to change them. Whether it was significant or my wins
were purely coincidence is open to debate, but not the
issue of whether bias manifests itself in statistics.

Sure, anyone can take a grain of truth and exagerate it
for the purpose of a scam, but a scam does not inherently
deny the existence of that grain of truth.

But if your analysis denies the reality of the physics
of the machines involved (by sorting the numbers), then the
analysis is worthless, even as an amusement.
