Wang:

Great job on the data analysis. I hate being a statistical outlier, so I went back through my archives and revised my starting size to 5.75 inches BP, based on a picture at that time. The 8.75 measurement has not been repeated, and my current measurements are consistently 8.4 - 8.5, so throw out that earlier measurement and use my current stats. I have edited my postings in the Size data base accordingly.

Thanks for all the hard work. Sorry to have distorted the progress towards scientific truth.

I do truly believe that bigger is better!

Wang:

I went back and added observations for November 2001 and November 2002 to more accurately reflect measurements over history.

Size’s data table now has 7 observations for me, but they appear to be posted under 5 different user names (all either Goodness81 or goodness81). I don’t know how that happens, but if you merge all the observations into one set, the results are consistent with the rest of your observations.

Good work. Thank you.

81, My SQL queries are case-insensitive, so Goodness81 will link with goodness81. I’ll add your changes to my local database and try to get another chart out sometime in the future. With those gains I think you’re always going to be a “statistical outlier”, but that’s not a bad thing in this case.

MM, I confirmed with Thunder that the data is corrupt. There was a period of time when the clock was wrong. I’m talking with him about some possible remedies.
