it will require much more time to get 5 times the same side of the coin. Completely false! link That's not that easy. It directs the different issues. Credibility (if it was irony or double sense post ), bugs etc. We don't know that for sure. Do we? Otherwise You're shooting yourself right in the foot (if not in the other place as well). Because after years of applying TOS8 You mention the post where 12/13 isn't valid? Sorry, with all respect, refer yourself (even if You are Admin) to TOS8 and show me where 5/5 wasn´t good enough and one HA member (with a few years of registration) has right to claim from new participant something that isn´t really necesary by rules (>5 tries.) If one day I will post my ABX logs with just 5/5, please, do not ask me for more than that. Take it or leave it. Why? Because it´s the only thing we can do. Trust. If one person cheats and provides You 20/20 it won´t makes it more valid than other guy with only but a true 5/5, is it? Second, please, if you quote somebody´s post, quote the complete part. Because only one part changes completely the sense of the original poster Like this:To flip the coin 5 times requires a really short time. But it doesn't mean that the results will be flawed. Because it will require much more time to get 5 times the same side of the coin. Do You still think that it's not truth?Five in a row can happen right off the bat or can happen somewhere later on. If we were to assume that all of his results were guesses then all of a sudden five in a row at some point in time isn't unreasonable. Again. Credibility issues, more than statistics. The listener usually tries several samples. Not just one and case closed....then there is the glaring zero out of five which you seemed to have overlooked! I didn't overlooked it. My statements have a general character. P.S. In the end, TOS8 works for everybody in the same way. You have provide the result with p<0.05. We can beleive You... or not. But it will already the question of credibility and not statistics.
