Thus the perception of sincerity became the deciding factor in an election where both candidates sought the center. Part of my research is solving continuous problems on a quantum computer and here there are problems which can be solved exponentially faster on a quantum computer. To state the obvious, actual sincerity is quite a different thing from the appearance of sincerity. I know Gore a bit and find him to be utterly sincere in person, but sadly artificial on television. I'll turn to Phil's remarks.
Childhood play is often concerned with the management of the appearance of sincerity.
Children learn to present and detect poker faces, for example. The most successful politicians not only excel at such skills, but even master elaborations, like sincerely displaying to one set of people one's insincerity to another, even if one has to be insincere to do so, and thus cementing an alliance. The fact that the votes in a surprising number of diverse states came out almost perfectly tied demands further analysis. Maybe the arts and sciences of demographic-driven campaigning have become perfected to the point that there is almost no noise left in the system. I am reminded of the flat wall that can form between two soap bubbles.
