    I don't know how to distinguish between the value of 600 vs 1000 (or like 2000). I'd imagine that more data is often more useful though!

    I was in University as an undergrad like several years a go I worked at the time for a market research company that does a lot of government contracts for a few political parties. Focus groups and surveys, can be easily manipulated or structured in ways that will produce a desired result, it is freaky, even the cadence or inference/tone/emphasis of certain words can influence and F*** with responses its is freaky to witness sometimes.  

    Anyway for these to be looked at as scientific research I think the sample size had to be 1k to generate a result that was considered representative of the whole. Medical research I know about as much as a six year old about, thats why I asked.

    sample size is something that is important to keep in mind

    I think 1000 is the number that is needed for the work to be deemed accepted as scientific as far as sample size, do you have experience in this kind of thing?

    Tzatziki, I can make a video of myself and look like Vryzas in his prime ? The Aris guys will tell you, I am surprised they haven't already

    Fair enough, like I said I havent seen any Aris matches this year so...I can't really give an legit opinion.

    His finishing has been rubbish 

    I have not seen full matches, but his finishing looks pretty good in this video here....

    Nada cambia hermano. Solo el sistema de esclavitud y nuestro maesto.

    This is a oversimplification of something that is much more nuanced. Ask gay people if anything has changed, or African Americans, or women, or people who benefit from new medical or technological advances...of course in one way or another there is an argument to be made from your position but it is not accurate, or productive or useful in any way that I can see. It is kind of like ageing.

    You dont notice the little changes day by day as you age, it is incremental and slow but change is occurring none the less. Look at a photo of yourself 5 0r ten years a go. I think it is the same for us on the whole, it might be a step backwards one day, two steps forward another, but looking at the big picture you cannot deny that change is a constant. How fast and in what direction is up to the people who are willing to do the things that make change happen.

    It won't happen though. 

    You're likely to be correct, but you never know...from what I have been told, federal income tax was introduced as a temporary measure at the time of one of the 2 world wars and was made permanent. So something like the covid emergency payments that Canada has made available could theoretically have a similar fate.
