TWP,

"Is there any reason why El Diablo and the other panel members are not willing to acknowledge that the only standard for them to use is the one which was agreed upon prior to the bet and which has now been confirmed by both participants in the bet?"

As part of the judging process, we will determine what has been agreed to re: the bet and standards of proof.

No. This is not something which is within the realm of the panel to decide. Look at this post by Rolen, responding to my post, responding to your post:

TWP,

The panel will decide based on this statement: "If the panel thinks that the evidence is not strong enough to conclusively award one side the win, I have no problem calling it a tie." and acceptance: "I agree."

We understand that both of you will have different opinions regarding what is a satisfactory level of proof. Please feel free to elaborate on that in your argument posts and it will be taken into account in the decision-making.

The panel will decide whether or not there is enough evidence to make a decision about the core element of the bet - whether or not g2c won that amount.

Wait. I do not accept the panel under this condition. Just because I agreed to have it called a tie if the panel does not think the evidence is strong enough to conclusively award it to one side does not say anything about the standard for conclusively awarding it. That standard was already established as two identical PT data sets. Nothing can change that.
