I didn't say it's a question of sales tax collections. I said a payment processor deals with sales taxes. In this case they clearly have to exempt this transaction from sales tax in order to support it, when other transactions thr

Even leaving aside the quantitative stuff (p-values, medians, whatever) and can't crunch the math, IMHO at least you should have seen how statistics can lead you to the exact opposite conclusion from reality, so that you at least kno
