Why would you not? I have got data behind my argument. What reason do you have?

sorry if i offended anyone, for the record my alleged outburst was directed @srikal, forgive me I ll be very pedantic on this one (long post)


@srikal I hope by now you ve learnt how points are assigned ie A=12, A-=11, B+=10, B=9, B-=8.........you get the drift, so a kid can have an A plain with 81, 82, 83 or 84 points. This is because he/she may not have had straight As in all subjects.


I still dont get y you are banging on about the 11.000000 so i wont reply to that,all I can think of are typos among the journalists

in my time in high school it was common that top student ranking in papers was ranked by the raw marks in the subjects ie there were discrepancies in that the best kid by % marks was not necesarily the best in the points or vice versa


finally we all know these exams were heavily leaked so hakuna haja ya kupiga kifua, thats not to steal their thunder but hii exam was out months in advance


I went to a bloody good school too and am proud of it

I went to one of the school's that is always being accused of getting leaked papers. Another myth...Not once the whole time I was there did we get leaked papers. Ever.We just studied our butts off. Outworked everyone else.

Accusations of papers being leaked are made by those who, for whatever reason, lack the wherewithal to do well.

Sorry, there is no conspiracy there.

As for the performance index, let me paint the very big picture for you in a single sentence: If it had been properly calculated as 11.057, there would be no rumors of conspiracies, political manipulations, Raila cooking results and what have you.

We would not be having this conversation. Get it?

THAT, IN BIG LETTERS, IS THE BIG PICTURE.

Ooh! come on, now I see why, you went to these big schools and you are defensive of the leakage because you actually did got the leakage.
Here is why and you do not need to point at any math.

You're working too hard to protect the ranking, why? because you have nothing else to hold onto apart from the pride of a highschool you went to 10 to 20yrs ago.

I am making a big deal out of your obsession with ranking because I am trying to point out one thing to you and that is; please find something else to hold on other than highsch ranking from your former highschool which were most likely because of hardwork of others not even you.

I know you're going to point incompetence or the larger theory of correctness but to me the whole argument you're fronting is flawed and the opportunity cost of your time is being lost in stupid rankings. In finacial markets there are people making a living chasing mispricing of assets. However, the theories of financial market tells us that the market correct itself nevertheless, there is incorrectness in markets everytime but people don't go after it(smart people) because it is not attractive. So if you were smart you wouldn't go after the incorrectness in the ranking because it is not attractive, but again are you really smart.

Lastly, I do not get paid to write so my grammer is the last thing I worry about!

I will ignore the last post you wrote to me, and the first half of the one 2nd to last.

What I want to do you is a favor nikikuomba Mlevi ujitahadhari na soko za hisa. Najuwa unategemea ati the Efficient Market Hypothesis ukikiri kwamba the market always corrects itself. Hah! Kaput! Toka 2008 ni wachache sana wenye kudhania kwamba the market cannot be gamed, and gamed hard na wale ambao wanujuwa ma siri ya kiuchumi. Insiders always benefit. They always have the advantage. The best investment strategy? Weka vitabu vya Efficient Markets kando. Juana na watu. Be very circumspect. Like me. How's that for real?

You know who's unreal? You are unreal.
