As a scientist it troubles me that a 2/3 split becomes 2/2. That's a loss of information, a smearing out of the data. We should aim to increase the resolution of the figures thus our confidence in them, not diminish both. Ditto several weeks ago where delegates were decided on coin flips. The more I learn about the American political process, the more I think it needs a drastic update to accommodate 21st century needs and make the best use of 21st century capabililties.
