As I said: it’s easy to integrate other parts and to switch out csvs. I
made an infrastructure for automatic evaluation. It’s all public now and
people can play with it.

And I told you before that I was working on that, so I don’t understand
why you did not ask me before you started investing days of work.

That is true, and I already wrote that that’s a possibility.

However that does not invalidate the more important result that using
only one way to evaluate the poll results in bogus rankings, even if the
correct data is used.

Each of the different ways to evaluate provides for different means of
skewing the result, and from what I can tell, these means were used to
some degree. From their difference between the evaluation methods we can
at least tell how uncertain the result of the poll is.

Best wishes,
Arne
