“Was That Jump A 6? Subjectivity In Olympic Judging”
It seems counterintuitive that during an event that is solely based on judging, the judging seems to be very biased towards one’s country. For an example, two countries would make an agreement to vote for each other so they both get could get better scores. This article also explains that, a judge from the same country has the Olympian would score them higher than the rest. On the other hand, in snowboarding the judges would score each olympian on who’s routine was cooler. So it’s not necessarily how far you went or how fast you ran, it’s more of the style you portray that gets you the better score. There were different strategies that were made to try to keep the score fair, however those attempts actually made it worse.
“Figure Skating Judges Get a 10 for Duplicity.”
It seems counterintuitive that nowadays judges have become extremely biased with the scores and which teams they would score higher than others. Judges from the same country as the Olympian would vote higher, making them higher on the leader board. Voting exchanges has also risen in the past years for beneficial purposes for each team. One way that they have tried to reduce judges from being biased was making their scores public so that researchers can check if the score is biased or not. Hopefully there is something in the works for changes, since stats show that the biased scoring just keeps increasing.
“Do Multivitamins Really Work?
It seems counterintuitive that data shows that multivitamins aren’t as nutritional as we thought they were. Multivitamins can be very beneficial to those who are in a nutritional deficit and taking vitatimins may fulfill their needs, however for those who gets their nutrition from food shouldn’t be taking vitamins every day. You think you are helping yourself become healthier, however you are increasing the risk of having diseases as you get older. People need to understand that if they are eating nutrient-dense food they don’t need to surpass the amount of nutrition they’ve already received by taking vitamins.

—I’m unclear why you bothered to compare judging in the two sports, DogLover. The snowboarding remarks seem to interrupt what you were saying about figure skating scores. Then you return, I guess, to skating for your final comment? There might be more counterintuitivity in how the “attempts made it worse” than in which sport was fairer. You could but didn’t explain how. One more thing: isn’t skating judged on the basis of “whose routine is cooler” and “the style you portray”?

—I don’t see what’s counterintuitive about judges voting according to national pride. It’s wrong, of course, but certainly everyone in the audience is hoping for winning performances from their country(wo)men, right? They’re not supposed to, but the judges must feel it, too. Any explanation for why publicizing the judges’ scores didn’t help? THAT might be counterintuitive. Sure sounds as if it should work.

—This one’s clearer but marred by flawed punctuation/grammar in 3 of the 4 sentences.

Also, always Reply, please, to Feedback. It’s the primary value of the course, and I love the conversations, but I tire of them when they become one-sided. Thanks!
