Jerry,
The only thing I am really interested in is finding out the relative standard deviations for TG and Rag. What different results will 'mean' is completely open to interpretation.
Based on the vast majority of posts on this board and Ragozin's board, the expected result is that TG will have a significantly smaller standard deviation than Ragozin for each race type -- the 'smoother line' effect. For my money, it is just an interesting fact to chase down -- just how big is the difference? If, in fact, the difference is not terribly significant, then that would be something of an 'AHA'. However, there is nothing in the results that will help someone decide which product to buy, if that is what you are getting at. I started to input the numbers today. It will probably be another week before it's done.
As for you, Mr. Holbert, based on your posts seen this board, I would be very careful before engaging in a discussion of statistics. If you have a point to make, make it and back it up with something. Tossing out fact-poor -- or, in the case above, fact-less -- missives is just a big waste of cyberink and time.
