Hey, @St_Rev. Since I'm in a mood, I have a math(ish) question for you. It's silly. I'll make it a thread.

1) OK. Suppose there is a convergence over time with Siskel and Ebert's movie ratings. Compared with a control group of randomly selected critics, S&E come to increasing agreement in their assessment of movies (I think this might be true, but ... no matter).

2) Once this is established, it seems that S or E is exacting a dominant influence (over S or E), yes. My math-ish question, then: Is it possible, with only this information, to determine who (S or E) is driving the convergence (or exacting influence) in movie ratings? No, right?

The thing that comes to mind, and this isn't really mathy, is look at reviews of the same works done at different times. Like, if S's retrospectives/best-ofs/year-in-review reviews track E's original reviews, and not vice versa, then E is influencing S.
