Thanks for pointing this out—I may have been sloppy in my writing. To be more precise, I did not expect that I would change my mind, given my prior knowledge of the stances of the four candidates, and would have given this expectation a high confidence. For this reason, I would have voted with “no”. Had LeCun or Mitchell presented an astonishing, verifiable insight previously unknown to me, I may well have changed my mind.

Ah, okay. That makes much more sense.
