Re: Unanswered questions

Yadda yadda....

<<Why has no one
looked at comparative bonus
scores?>>

Partly because there isn't enough information available
for us to do so. If complete stats were posted for
all the tournaments (especially the tournaments at
Scripps), maybe that might shed a bit more
light.

<<If Cam was guilty, what reason would he have for
telling the truth for a second in his message? Doesn't
accepting what he has to say at face value imply that
you've already decided he's
innocent?>>

Funny thing, that: in this country, people accused of
crimes are generally presumed innocent until proven
guilty, not the other way around. At the moment, all the
evidence is circumstantial. 

As I've said in
private, I have no way of knowing exactly what happened. I
know what I'd like to see happen in this particular
case, but, seeing as I don't have a _vested_ interest
in the matter(*), I won't discuss that
here.

I will say this, though: I have never met Cam. I
don't know if I ever will. But I can say with some
certainty that, until I see evidence contradicting his
claims, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the
doubt.

But that raises one question: why are you so
convinced he must be guilty?

(*)In
other words, if any misdeeds did take place, I was not
_directly_ affected by them (e.g., my team didn't lose any
matches, etc.). Clearly, though, having someone actively
cheating in a systematic manner would be a terrible thing
that shouldn't be tolerated.
