There's a slight problem there. Roland said that the individual in question was not Jack. It might be me. Also, I would not be at all surprised if Roland considers both Jack and myself to be people who are in the group with anti-Truther bias here.

Well, I'd accept anyone who was not a rabid Truther, because I don't believe that Truthers will ever be convinced regardless of the evidence. But maybe Roland thinks anyone who isn't a rabid Truther is too strongly biased.

Alicorn would be a good choice, if she is still logged in.

Yeah, I was thinking of Alicorn, too.

I have an anti-Blueberry bias, and he is involved in the bet. If he will accept my adjudication regardless, then $5 for the SIAI and a chance to show off my mad adjudication skillz is worth the small amount of time I expect it would take to make the evaluation of whether the answer to "one simple question" is convincing. I don't know who the answerer of this question would be, though, and if ey declines to participate the bet should be considered off.

Well, if I'm not the subject of the bet (or heck even if I am) I might be willing to take the bet under the same terms but I'd be curious who would be an acceptable judge for Roland.
