Think we will have to agree to disagree Written by Tracy W (4/11/2008 11:26 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Emma’s expectations…, penned by Robbin

Different definitions indeed. I think we will never agree on this point as we are just flat out reading the words differently. I read the word "expectations" as a view of what is the most probable outcome, or the average outcome, not as encompassing all outcomes. I may be overly biased by spending too much time around statisticians. :)
