Dan-

Even before the test, your argument convinced me! I see a lot of hand waving
among those who take the opposing view.

Another of your earlier remarks suggested that it might be possible to
identify a specific player, and in fact, Jim did so. I think the cases where
he correctly named the individual, should be discounted, since the player's
nationality wasn't the quality that he recognized.

Doing this would seem to bias the results in your favor. However, the sample
wasn't really very large. It would seem that a larger number of performances
being evaluated by several sharp people, would be required.
