We make predictions on what we think. Range isnt a common factor. By giving a range you are simply saying you feel it will sell more than the min and less than the max, the amount doesnt matter when the ranges do not cross, thats what i dont think you understand. Im not googling whatever term you just learned in school to apply to this because its irrelavent to the situation.

Either your prediction is in line and youre right or it sells between 2.5-3 million and no ones right or it sells between 3-4 million and the other group is right.

1. That term is relevant to this situation to ensure fairness, justice & statistical significance accross the board.

2. The other range is now 3.5 - 4 Million according to the primary leader of the other faction, kantor.

Range isn't a common facotor and I don't usually use range, however in this rare situation we find ourselves in range has been used as a sword and a shield, to act as a mediator between the two we must use the mutually beneficialy symbiotic range calculation formula.

no we must not, because even if their range is greater it doesnt change your prediction. No one made you use a 500k range but you did. Its independant, there is no closeness, either you are right or wrong. There is no objective prediction range, its our own thoughts. Your thought will probably end up being wrong, regardless of their range. Thats all that matters when we make predictions. Since its what we think, others can be right or wrong independantly. You will most liekly be wrong with your prediction, youre just trying to come to terms with UC2 selling better than you thought so youre piggybacking other predictions :)

No, we must. Ranges are designed and created independantly, the other range was never stated by the opposing faction, until kantor said its 3.5 - 4 Million. But lets assume its still 3 - 4 Million. We are comparing predictions, we need to find a tipping point here and combine seperate variables that may lead to this study being unreliable & possibly unfair. In order to do this we have to unquestionably use the mutually beneficialy symbiotic range calculation formula, its the fundamentals of this comparison. Coming to terms with a wrong prediction involves making another thread saying I was wrong and seein it grasp the 100 post mark, that is the fundamental principle in coming to terms with such a prediction not on the other hand piggybacking which is irrelevant towards this rare position we find ourselves in.
