This curious - a couple of mathematicians have written statistical breakdown of the Iranian election which finds the vote was almost certainly rigged - what's curious is the way they do it: apparently there's a marked difference between a truly randomized tally of numbers and a tally that has been manipulated by humans - people apparently have certain tendencies when it comes to numbers that can easily be discovered. Anyway, these guys declare that the oddities in the Iranian vote tally suggest that the likelihood that the vote wasn't rigged is less than one percent.

So - we all knew that, I think. I've never suggested it wasn't rigged - I've just said it's misleading to suggest therefore that A--- lacks significant support or that a vote against A--- was consequently a vote that served the interests of the West.

Can't wait till this study starts circulating through intellectual back alleys of Tehran and Ayatollah has to outlaw the 'wizardry' of numbers, instruments of the Great Satan. God I hope the writers of the article were Jewish...
