NB - 5% and 95% are basically just proxies for 'pretty sure it's not true' and 'pretty sure it's true'. I wouldn't claim that they're anything like well-calibrated. I don't think I form opinions on stories like this often enough to be well-calibrated.
Oh, and I second the opinion that this is exactly the sort of thing that LW needs more of - people actually attempting to see how good they are at being right about the world (although maybe issues in which it's easier to be sure of the "right answer" would be better tests).
