I don't understand the resolution of the market: we don't know

@DarkTiberion79

@PuckMinder Find it absurd: there's a high probability that the virus comes from a lab and there's no hypothesis which is currently more likely.

@DarkTiberion79 This market wasn't resolved based on my opinion. More people on Manifold voted they don't think it came from a Lab than those that do. So this market resolved No. Did you not read the description? The only thing I put in it was that this market is resolve to a poll, then linked the poll.

@PuckMinder So all we do is betting on the results of a poll (:/)

@DarkTiberion79 Yeah, resolving a market to polls are a common thing. There is already a market that will be open for years that may or may not get resolved by Issac King about this.
