"Wet Bias"

[LeftWriteFemme]

I was listening to a statistician today and he was commenting on the fact that local weather forecasters have wet bias, meaning that they predict a higher probability of precipitation then the national weather service numbers indicate......Okay so now comes the part where you need to bear with me......

So my question is: Do you think that here on our "Planet" we have a 'wet bias" meaning, is it possible that we tend to predict more possibilities for success in our online interactions than we might if say we all lived around the corner from one another? I haven't formed an opinion, I mean seriously it might be "reverse wet bias" for all I know, but the question intrigued me.

I would really love to hear what you think about it?

Do you think about it....
