How do you capture the difference between having no idea and having the absolute best possible idea that anyone has or can has and that idea being the probability is 50-50?
50-50 = no idea, zero certainty
50-50 = expert analysis with as high degree of certainty as possible of a very, very close race
These two things are expressed as being equal? Feels like something important has been lost.
