Ahh, mais mes cheries! Ce n'est pas si simple comme nous voulons de se representer... mais... erm... nous oublions c'est ca? Bien... Mais êtes-vous certains s'il n'était pas un mouton volant qui a justement se camouflé de vache?

The first red lights though have alighted...

If something sounds wolvish then this... and what do you need lawyers for anyway?

But Mith's way of backtracking her words should be notified as well.

And the statistical arguments then? Those can be made - and they can bite. Like we might say that it's probable that now as 7 people (half of us) have talked at least one or two wolves have meddled in the discussion. That I'd say is a reasonable deduction. Sadly the reasonableness of the conclusion is straight in line with the uninformativeness of the end result.

But whether from all those in the game an X number of left-handers or brown-eyed will be wolves I'm not so sure anymore. From the four Finns one might be a wolf - as well as from the four Americans one might be - or anyone from those not being Finns or Americans can be a wolf... Which doesn't mean I wouldn't be ready to suspect Agan as well as you do. She's just too sneaky to be true. Everytime. And I know that and thence I suspect her everytime which is good in a sense but also may backfire badly - as has been seen as well...

What I mean is that without making even a slightly justified case for your choice of the statistical groups these kind of arguments are just sham or only statistics.

The question remains, whether you Mith just wish to look good by making these statistical arguments or whether it's a deliberate trial to turn our attention away from certain people... or towards some others. Or whether you just have nothing else to go for - and I do appreaciate your early-Day activity. Without people like you we could never get forwards.
