RomiChess && learning: Poll

Is the learning in RomiChess worth while?

I don't believe that you can answer questions like this with a poll.

In fact, it's like voting on the value of pi (IMO).

It is or it isn't (valuable). But a poll simply cannot answer that question. Experimentation and measurement are the things that will bear out value or the lack thereof.

Indeed.

I was witness to something actually much stranger. On a yearly basis there used to be something called the Bluenose panel meeting. It had the heads of the largest scientific labs from NATO like Sandia, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Fermilab, Oak Ridge, Battelle etc. along with the European ones like CERN (not sure if CERN was there this time). Anyway, a dispute arose over a natural constant (in this case the decay rate for a certain radio isotope). After a while, they held a vote to figure out the right value. The right value passed, but narrowly. And these were the HEADS of the laboratories.

I was in the back, flipping slides for a giant neoprene rubber projection screen, with a guy named Vic Karicki. (Not sure about the spelling of his name).

We almost fell over laughing, with our hands over our mouths.

Even though I have not voted on the value of pi, personally, I never pay more than $2.50 a slice.
