Do you understand how incredibly infeasible it would be to create a ping pong machine that only pulls out the exact 4 digit combination you need one time and then somehow stops after 4 pulls (despite the same 10 balls being used?).
All 17 parties in the room witness what happens. If there was any **** it would be incredibly noticeable.
If I’m doing it, I’d probably line the balls with magnetic powder/paint with variation in the coating to alter to magnetic strength. Then use multiple, evenly placed coils in the platform under the plastic ping pong ball container, which can be turned on/off and can be adjustable in magnetic strength. Might be a couple other ways to get it done.
If their blower under the ping pong ball container is also transparent or if they open it up and show all the components inside before use, then I would say it’s pretty foolproof. Like I said, I haven’t really looked into it, but I wouldn’t hold anyone back from scrutinizing over the process, even if I find that it’s 100% foolproof.
Another way to further ensure transparency is to shuffle unmarked balls in a transparent container, have a random blindfolded player select the first ball he touches and the balls are marked 1-14 in the order he selects them. It’s overkill, but the NBA is selling a product and are making the claim that it’s not rigged, so the burden of proof is on them to show 100% transparency.
Right, and you think 14 NBA franchises, a international audit firm, a company that creates these machines for lotteries, and the NBA itself are all just going along with this?
Why would any of these entities risk their entire reputation? Based on what you said, that would require the creator of the machine to be in cahoots with the NBA, as well as the audit firm lying about the weights of the balls. So we already have 3 separate entities all lying about this, as well as 14 NBA franchise who are in the room just completely unaware of whats happening.
Again, you are just making up conspiracy theories. You even admit "I haven't really looked into it" but are claiming there is no burden of proof or whatever the **** it is your rambling about.
COME ON MAN. Give it up. They have 100% transparency on the entire process and have 17 different entities involved in the process. That is more transparency than you get from 99.999% of things you come across in your daily life.
Why would they all know about it. Why would the weight of the balls be different if they're all coated.
You could whittle it down to two entities who know about it and it doesn't even need to be the company that creates the machine, considering it could be later modified.
I gave an example how the mechanism COULD work, not how it actually works. My example is to show that what we see isn't foolproof evidence, that there could be potential loopholes, it's NOT a projection of what I think is happening.
Lmao, now the "burden of proof" that you guys keep talking about suddenly becomes "whatever the **** it is". I've never heard a company selling a product put the burden of proof on the consumer. If a company makes a claim trying to sell a product and there's lots of controversy on it by the consumers to the point of hurting the company's credibility, I would try to make the process as clear as possible. I wouldn't want some loser yes-men derailing the conversation on social media.
If the NBA goes with my method of making the process excessively transparent, they gain further credibility. If they go with your method of bashing anyone who goes against the grain, it makes them more suspicious.
For the record, there have been way bigger conspiracies than this where every one of your excuses has been invalidated, which is why I don't take controversial topics with 100% certainty if there are potential holes in what's presented. Interesting that you can't stand someone who is open to questioning things and 90/10 on the topic though.
