• othercriteria estimated 15% and said “I can imagine effects like (something analogous to) Benford’s Law strong enough to swamp any ‘2’ priming that might occur.” on 2009-10-17
• Arenamontanus estimated 40% on 2009-10-19
• Pavitra estimated 90% and said “People seem to be choosing multiples of 5%, possibly because it feels less precise; a prediction of 24% or 26% feels like greater certainty than 25%.” on 2009-10-23
• Pavitra estimated 10% and said “Oh crud, I meant 90% against.” on 2009-10-23
