Endless free-market competition among Prometheus 4 1518 164 various infinities of revelations culminated in the torah of Moses (and the Quran, Four Sigma 3 1653 164 etc.) which outsold the others shekel for shekel, thereby validating its value. Hence we see that the free market is the source of revelation itself. Mega 1 160.0 176 As always, Without a hint of sardonic irony, Richard Polymath Systems, P.O. Box 795, Berkeley, CA 94701 MOWS Number 115 February 1996 page 28 The reliability of the LSFIT, calculated using Kuder-Richardson formula 20, is LETTER FROM ROBERT BURNS? .94. The standard error of measurement is 6.4 scaled score points, or 3.6 points of 1.0. The norming method used aims for maximum accuracy at the high end; the [Ed's comment-As you know, I do well on 10 tests but am an idiot in certain LSFIT is probably most accurate between two and four standard deviations above the general population mean. The floor of the LSFIT is identical to that of the [AFT; other areas. A couple months ago, I received a letter and tossed away the its ceiling is seven points lower. This is not completely unexpected, as most of the envelope. Turns out the letter is unsigned. I think it's from Robert Burns.
