Josh wrote: In numerous studies repeated at academic institutions around the world, coin toss studies, even allowing for the highly contentious "ignore-coin-if-you-want" option, resulted in lower test scores than for those who actually studied. I reply: But did anyone say that coin-tossing would be better than, or even as good as, studying for an exam? Or that coin-tossing would be a better way to decide whether to vote for someone than finding out more about that candidate? The coin-tossing was presented as a possibility for when one doesn't know what to do, maybe because one hasn't bothered to find out more. It's too late to get that information at the voting booth.
