"Proof" by anecdote?

Now (soon) that we (you) have the new Logging system, also the capability to do Automated Testing, and together with my several test systems, I will be able to run hundreds of test trials "proving" one thing or another.

Carefully designed test scenarios that I run by the hundreds might tell me that, on average, outcome A occurs X% of the time, outcome B occurs Y% of the time, outcome C Z% of the time. Hard statistical facts, not conjecture or "war stories".

I'm not prejudging the EA issue one way or the other. I'm not denying that A happens, or asserting that B does or doesn't happen. I'm just saying we don't really know, we don't know the relative frequency of A vs. B (vs. C), until we exhaustively test.

Careful coding doesn't prove anything, anecdote doesn't prove anything. The proof is in the testing.
