When Robin visited Benton house and the 1% figure was brought up, he was skeptical that he had ever made such a claim. Do you know where that estimate came up (on OB or wherever)? I'm worried about ascribing incorrect probability estimates to people who are fully able to give new ones if we asked.
Off-topic question: Is Benton house the same as the SIAI house? (I see that it is in the Bay Area.) Edit: Thanks Nick and Kevin!
The people living there seem to call it Benton house or Benton but I try to avoid calling it that to most people because it is clearly confusing. It'll be even more confusing if the SIAI house moves from Benton Street...
Yes.
