Duh.
That is why starting with the highest known level of IC would squash ID if found to be reducible to matter, energy, chance and necessity. |

From the other thread:Hawks:
As for the CSI of a softball, I count 193 bits. What do you get, Joe?
How did you arrive at 193 bits?
Like you said, it actually was quite easy to do:
I first listed the bill of materials.
Then I measured how tight the core was wrapped.
I measured the direction of wrapping.
I measured the amount of materials.
I measured the cut of the cover.
I measured how it was sewn.
I measured it's specifications for weight, diameter and rebound.
I got anywhere from 193 to 211 bits, but used the lower number to be on the safe side.
That's how I did it.
Did we get similar results?

Hawks,
Seeing there are 5 bits of information per character your math appears to be way off.
Neither 193 nor 211 is divisible by 5.
That said, where did you get the bill of materials?
Did you get it from a legit source? You know a source that actually makes softballs?
IOW as Richie said "show your work".

Hawks, that's the best post on IR I've ever seen.-
And yet it is full of mistakes.
The first is obvious- how to get 193 bits from a configuration of 5 bits per character.
I would bet he counted 193 characters, not bits.
That is why I need to see his work.
Without that I could say some other number and then say it is up to you to prove me wrong.
