I understand the argument completely [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
The top three racers on the server could simply be benefiting from low ping due to factors like proximity to the P99 server. OP has zero proof against this possibility, so his argument falls apart.
If the top three racers are good at the race AND have a generally low ping, they are going to win most of the time. |
If what you are saying about super reaction and ping times is true then why are they the only outliers? If your answer is small dataset then I will say ok, can we provide counter examples? If the methodology fails to control for these variables adequately then it should be possible to be show it via counter examples. Exclude the outliers and show the pack not conforming to the statistical distribution provided. The argument provided is, to my knowledge, really the only way to determine this outside of perfect knowledge like running ring0 anticheat and recording keystrokes. The argument isn't really as much about these players had x number of reaction time please explain that away, as much as it is why do these players repeated reaction times not fall within the normal statistical distribution of reaction times that we should expect.
OP provided a very small dataset of just a handful of races maybe he cherrypicked all the data to conform to his desired results. Only way to really refute this is to do some very light science and show that his methodology is incorrect. Hand waving doesn't really refute someone using math. However, demonstrating errors would.
