Al, you can disagree, but that's the way logic works. I said:

"It does, however, disprove the notion that outing an auction will definitely affect the outcome."

If you disagree, that means you believe that outing an auction always effects the outcome, but then you would have a tough time explaining what happened yesterday since you only need 1 case to disprove an 'always' statement.

Now we can have a discussion about whether outing an auction is more or less likely to effect the outcome since a sample of 1 doesn't prove that either way, but you can't logically says that it "will definitely affect the outcome."
