This misses the point. Statistics are like bikinis: What they show you is revealing, but what they hide is VITAL. Great. A whole 100 people took the time to Google blackshirts when it was mentioned. But where are the stats for the number of people that didn't? For how many did the reference go straight over their head?  And more importantly, how many would more clearly have understood where Nate Gerry played college ball (without needing to Google) if he had simply said "University of Nebraska"? This graph makes my point. How many hundreds of thousands of people were tuned in and paying attention when he said that. And you only got 100 people to jump through the hoop you wanted them to jump through?  How about not putting hurdles in front of people (outside Nebraska) understanding your brand in the first place?

I gave @Moiraine post a “thank”, do you see it?

 

yes, you should be able to see it too. I gave that post an "upvote", which is the lighter colored +1.

Interesting that "upvote" and "plus1" are different

Is this what you say when you can't refute the points just made?

The 100 is NOT a count. It’s a way to compare the peak popularity of the term to other moments.

 

It could be 5 million people searched it yesterday. Or maybe it was 12. The chart shows you that a lot more than usual looked on the day Gerry mentioned Blackshirts.

No. It’s what someone says when your “points” are so bad  they’re not worth debating.

Yes I can see the thank I gave @Moiraine and I deleted it. I wonder what the difference is between a +1 upvote and a normal +1?

I demand you give it back.

 

Actually this makes me wonder - does a confused vote add to someone’s rep total?

Upvote, Haha and Thanks add a rep point

 

Confused and Sad show as a reaction but don't affect rep poins

No, it is noting that your assertion proved false and, rather than admitting that, you moved on to a different assertion so you could rationalize it to yourself.
