Bilgeman – your numbers aren’t quite that exact. First of all, they count entries/exits, which mean that many people can be double-counted if they ride more than once. Second of all, there are plenty of saturdays when more than 360,000 people ride – every Saturday in July had 380,000 to 410,000 riders. And finally, there was also the Black Family Celebration going on, which had thousands of attendees over the course of the day.
Charlie – your comment is nonsensical. There is absolutely no way you can get your numbers out of those pictures using any sampling technique whatsoever. The problem is that you used completely hypothetical densities that were easily disproven by actual pictures of the event. Massive FAIL on your attempt to be a statistical elitist there.
And you point out 1 mistake Charles made (one that I didn’t even use at all) in an apparent attempt to discredit everything he said. I’ve already pointed out 4-5 mistakes that you’ve made. So can we discredit everything that you’ve said?
