"1.  Can you provide some rationale for the details of the experiment?

2.  Is one goal to maximize the attendance conflicts among BOFs?"


1. In terms of rationale, I am reminded of Kinky Freedman's slogan, when
running for Governor or Texas:  "Why Not?"
(see http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,146289,00.html for details).
However, I do admit that this
approach can sometimes backfire (see
http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2010/07/kinky-friedman-endorses-do
g-for-texas-governor/ ). 

2. With experiments like this, the effects can be unpredictable.  So it's
possible that the experiment could *minimize* attendance conflicts at BOFs
-- by minimizing attendance.
