mwj: "I have nothing invested in this bet but curious minds would like to have an explanation of these two conflicting statements"
Don't hold your breath mwj!
He has no defense. This is the second time he couldn't keep his stories straight on this because he's got a real conscience problem over it.
My original statement that started this entire bet was this (paraphrasing) ......
"Tyson's Pasco and Boise plants lost more money than Tyson's Lakeside AB plant made during the period of time when the Canadian border was closed due to BSE".
Sandbag claimed that was a lie, then said I didn't lie, then said I might have lied. That was the first time he started changing his story.
His response to this statement was "PROVE IT".
I bet him $100 that I was right.
He said, let's use calendar year 2004 for simplicity sake.
I agreed. My mistake.
Our data showed that I was clearly wrong within calendar year 2004 because the Canadian feeder cattle were still supplying those northern plants in 2004 until they dried up in the fall of 2004. Agman said his data showed I was wrong on calendar year 2004 and right about 2005. Sandbag thanked Agman for his honesty because it meant he had won the bet on calendar year 2004 but then he questions Agman's word on being right on my original statement. Agman's data and my data revealed that I was right with my original statement. Sandbag questioned that but accepted Agman's word on calendar year 2004.
He knows he can't get around his hypocrisy and that's why his stories keep changing. Sandweasel has a real conscience problem.
