Quote from: Goldernen Oxernen on Mar 02, 2025, 04:13 PMWe need to know if guesses were made publicly or secretly. I suspect they were not and when people like cattle auctioneers, who would be experienced and expert step up and give a guesstimate, average punters treat it as a tip.Excellent point. Doing this is referred to as "blind sampling" in statistics, and is designed to offset the bias just as you've pointed out.
