Actually, either way, repeating the wrong number three times without noticing doesn't inspire confidence. It's not like she'd have been breaking the fourth wall or violating protocol by stopping and correcting herself the second time.<br /><br />PS: The non-white, and by BBC definition poorest and most vulnerable class victory over lily-white, evil rich Harvard students (never mind that such BBC favorites as "Two Eds" Flanders, Red Ed, and Even Redder Ed cut their economics teeth at Larry Summers' knee, and I think Balls is there right now as some lecturer or something) is doubleplus good because, unlike the losers, they didn't even believe what they were saying and obviously won by sheer superiority of intellect, debunking the Bell Curve and all forms of racism at once, and humiliating all you racist Brits.<br /><br />Am I imagining the thoughts of others?
