<p dir="ltr">Nice article, but the author needs a refresher on how to discuss percentages. According to what he wrote, as opposed to what he meant, if Sarvis had 100 votes, if he hadn't run, 5 would have stayed home, 1 would have voted GOP, and the rest would have ceased to exist. </p>

First, we guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works.<font><b> If it disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG.
