How is it that 100% of the general population with high (>96%) confidence got the correct answer, but only 66% of a subset of that population?

What if it was divided into (typical-lw) (elite-lw) not (typical-lw (elite-lw))? That is, disjoint sets not subsets.

I think it's more likely that I accidentally did 95-100 inclusive for one and 95-100 exclusive for the other.
