Could do better…. I’m intrigued by the software that said I didn’t actually participate yet it gave me what it said I reported. Having reviewed the film I’m more in agreement with the consensus than with what I supposedly said. I say “supposedly”…. I can’t remember what I put in the first place as it was so long ago, and as the software’s clearly made an error in say ing I didn’t take part and yet it assigned answers to me, I wonder if it recorded what I said correctly
