Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The actual problem is that if you show this data to the respondents, they wouldn't change their answers.

This might just be a study of how our perception tends to disregard or "dilute" extreme numbers. Imagine someone had an accurate feel for these percentages. They might trend towards a less extreme value, producing a similar result.

Actually it's 50% on everything you either belong to a group or you don't /j
