As opposed to some random Reddit user?

• mcantelon 14y ago
  A random person's video carries more weight than a random person's unsubstantiated claim because video is, to some degree, evidence (it would be possible to fake, but would at least require some work).

    But there is no real evidence. He shows a video of a garden variety bug/error with resistive touch screens, then makes some sensationalist claims in his comments that are completely unsubstantiated.

      Here's a video from 2008 of the exact same problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MHwNZkNFlI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MHwNZkNFlI Is there any video of these sorts of "garden variety" bugs happening in favor of Democrats?

        Skip to the relevant part of the video [53 second], and the guy clearly touches the bottom of the McCain section with his finger, then rolls his finger down. My point still stands though: The user sees the wrong selection immediately, and can notify someone or try again. The only scandal here is that this is even a story http://youtu.be/0MHwNZkNFlI?t=54s http://youtu.be/0MHwNZkNFlI?t=54s

      He makes no sensasionalist claims that I've seen, he's only said that it's not a calibration error according to his testing. In any case the mere presence of this type of bugs are a really strong point against wasting money in these devices.
