Winston,
You are distorting now Winston, just as you did before.
Rather than refer to my actual quote, you found 2 similar ones of mine which you now want to labour.
The actual exchange in question was:

You quoted me then immediately distorted my "more significant" phrase into "significant" which has a distinctly different connotation.
As to the other material regarding "more significant", I already answered you.
For 2 samples of ~10,000. The wins/fair share indexes were 52.4% versus 31.5%.
I consider those figures significantly different.
If you don't agree with my conclusion that doesn't concern me. Feel free to bet that way.
