I think the idea is to indicate these numbers have error bands:
The estimates below include an estimate of uncertainty. We expect the uncertainty around these estimates to narrow, especially after races are called.
I don't see any reason why we'd expect the uncertainty to be updated more than every 30-180 seconds or why any of this is the least bit "disingenuous".
- yankyou 10y agoThat would make sense, if they didn't have _actual_ error bands as well.
- the_duke 10y agoI'm pretty sure it's so people don't just leave right away. No one want's to look at a static page fore more than a few seconds, once you have taken in the information. And I guarantee you that there are plenty of visitors on that page right now, staring at the gauges with fascination.

- revelation 10y agoAs the recent events show, these "error bands" would have to be off the fucking scale. So in showing wrong uncertainty, they are being even more disingenuous.
