well let's face it We don't always say exactly what
- 00:24
we're thinking but politicians and pollsters have a method known
- 00:27
on dsp feel out those beneath the surface thoughts So
- 00:32
does a pole attempting to identify underlying views and attitudes
- 00:35
on a particular issue measure a distribution Well let's say
- 00:38
there was a poll for whether or not we think
- 00:40
pinocchio should tell the truth The distribution would show us
- 00:45
how many people favor the occasional fib but we're looking

could have pulled that identifies underlying views on an issue
- 00:54
measure salience will pulls measuring salience get down to brass
- 00:57
tacks on whether or not brass tacks are important to

- 01:42
concerns could influence our thinking on issues that might come

- 01:47
ban all imports of dutch cheese a latent see pole
- 01:51
would help us figure out whether or not people felt
- 01:53
they gotta have it All right so option is that
