There ARE no outside conditions, not even that there are however-many people in the US. What the hell does that even have to do with anything? The conditions are and have always been:

Program A: out of the 600 affected, 200 will be saved.
Program B: out of the 600 affected, there is 1/3 probability that 600 people will be saved, and 2/3 probability that no people will be saved.
Program C: out of the 600 affected, 400 will die.
Program D: out of the 600 affected, there is a 1/3 possibility that nobody will die, and a 2/3 possibility that everyone will.

How do I know this? Because I can read and you can't. Extraordinary outside conditions didn't occur to anyone else in the study, because the information necessary for the decision is GLARINGLY OBVIOUS to even the simpleminded (even if the "trick" isn't.)

So once again: if you'd had any real clue what was going on, you would have chosen either C or D when first asked. That you didn't, and that you continue to "accuse" me of subject-changing and high-minded self-righteousness, is - well, is simply sad.
