2) Another variant of confusing your users, this one not driven by economic greed (the events are usually free), is upcoming online events whose progress update e-mails contain reminders to sign up if you haven't already, thus leaving the ordinary person, who can't devote a lot of memory space to such things, uncertain whether they already did so.

Nor is the event's website much help, and indeed on more than one occasion I've wound up with two or more signups, and wasn't that confusing when the event finally arrived.

3) So the argument is that contrarian personalities are actually more "pro-social" because they'll refuse to participate in the Milgram experiment. But have you measured what happens if you ask them to wear Covid masks? Most of the refusers sound very contrarian.

7) So is there a place on the theistic probability line for someone who considers the existence of God to be not a very interesting or useful question?
