Default Re: Decent Online News Article

Are historical data sets from other players playing a similar style to the suspected sessions a somewhat valid substitution for previous sessions against the same user in this instance?

I realize it isn't perfect and I am not asking that.
What I am saying is that instead of having to play against Graycat repeatedly, isn't historical data over a large set of samples a reasonable substitute for comparison and analyzing?

And isn't that precisely what we are suggesting- that this falls so far out of line it sways heavily one way?

It isn't perfect- but I think there are some valid comparisons to be made that way.


edit: heh, josem wrote something similar while I was writing this out.
