Wandering Off Topic

I think that accuracy rate is assessed during Eddie's training runs and it was found that on average 1 in every 10 training runs Eddie would alert at places where the  training sample had not been placed or he went past the place where the training sample had been placed and he didn't bark.

False positives and false negatives.

Where is there a record of Eddie's scores in training?  I've never seen one; so in my opinion his training performance is anecdotal.

The dog whose record is independently validated is Morse.

I'm interested in whether  posters, think eddies alerts in pdl on the whole were 90 accurate  ...this belief is what I think results in an incorrect belief in the value of the alerts

High 90s.

[Mr Gray]

High 90s.

IMO... The figure is meaningless unless, we know the precise nature of the test... If it's a simple tile type test with fresh cafaver odour or not I would expect a very high score.....the question I asked which hasn't been answerred is, do posters think that shows the alerts in pdl are 90 % accurate.... I think that's an absurd idea

Dear me, years on and these dogs are still causing concern for supporters.

The dogs are no concern to me... It's rather silly ti suggest they are... Imo... And since the full facts are known re the alerts.. I doubt they are, a concern fir the McCann's either

None so blind ... etc ... etc ...
So called 'supporters' have understood what Martin Grime has said where others choose to ignore him.

I suppose I could say taht as far as I can see....11 years and sceptics still dont understand the value and reliability of the alerts

Why do you believe that should be so?

The alerts are what they are and will be well understood by the investigating police forces.
Nothing that supporters or sceptics write alters that.

I really don't know why you bother.

Cato reached the point where he ended any old speech with "delenda est Carthago".
Maybe it is the same kind of syndrome?

We bother because it's, a discussion  forum where people discuss.... If you are criticising people from discussing things perhaps you should take your own advice and stop duscussing

As I recall, Cato ended up committing suicide after he lost the battle against Caesar  - unless you are referring to Cato the Elder.
