Soccerguy, don’t obsess about “fussiness.” It took me awhile, but I think ICARE meant to say “fuzzy” math, a term that had its 15 minutes of fame a few Presidential elections ago. It’s not a technical term, and your logic isn’t deficient. Nice job working this out with no statistical training.

I don’t want to perpetuate this minor flame war, but I do want to say it’s ironic that in the midst of a homily about deficiencies in math, philosophy, and logic education, a simple spelling error had us all wondering what was going on. I think the lesson here should be: Be careful about criticizing. It can backfire.
