Yes, precisely.  My good friend Israel Finkelstein was just saying to me the
other day, as he took his Hannakah sample out of the chromatograph and proudly
displayed the results proving what he'd been saying all along (with a 99.999%
correlation in exp v exp plot no less) about the veracity of Judaism.  Shortly
after that he was doubly bemused that the Christian in the lab only managed to
get his error down to 0.01% (relative measure against a NBS standard weight) on
the isolation balance of his Christmas sample.  He snickered to me that you
ALWAYS have to account for the tare weight if you want the solidest proof of
the reality of your religion.  I won't even mention the abysmal confidence
figure that came out of the photo lab that was analyzing some rather scratchy
16mm footage of Mohamed chatting up The Angel.  I somewhat tend to doubt that
Ibn Yasir will be publishing the proof he's working on this year.  The peer
review would just cream him.  So the winner this year definitely looks like
Judaism, which is going to go to publication with a nearly unimpeachable
rejection hypothesis statistic on the issue of the 8 days of oil, the 40 years
in Sinai with a cloud overhead all the time, etc.
