Oh man, I'm gonna re-read the Emdrive threads on NSF later and see how many points I can get.
Can I get some honorary crackpot points for misreading John Baez as "Joan Baez" and wondering why this crackpot treating system was attributed to a singer, not a physicist (or mathematician)?

Well we both know how pots can crack, they crack under diamonds and rust.

If I give you crackpot points, can they be considered a transfer that lowers my balance?

They're actually cousins, I believe. I used to see a lot more of John back in my Usenet days, and that came up a lot.

Hmmmm…. Doesn’t seem to be a Baez-less hypothesis, so +5 Internet points.

I should say I make no claim to actually know John Baez, or his cousin, but I was on some of the same Usenet groups. Mostly a.r.k. But I did occasionally hang out in the sci.phys hierarchy.

Use Baezian statistics to calculate the probability.

I think that's only fair.

Oddly, I thought I'd checked to see if they're related. I looked at his Wikipedia entry and didn't see it. I think I must have looked at the "early life" section and not noticed there was also a "family" section, which mentioned her. Apparently, her father, a physicist, was his uncle. Not terribly surprising. It's a pretty uncommon name, they're both from Xlaifornia, etc.
