Beyond reasonable doubt is 70% +, not 100%. :wink:

Where's the 70% come from?

Looking at it backwards, 30% doubt, is some doubt indeed!!

Indeed, looking at it mathematically, 30% is more than halfway to 50%, in fact it is 20% past the halfway mark to 50%, and 50% is undecided and firmly in limbo.

So how can 70% be beyond reasonable doubt?

The minimum, in my humble opinion, to be beyond reasonable doubt should be 76% [in whole numbers that is], because then you would be less than halfway to the halfway pint [or point even] of 50% and so 76% is the lowest percentage that it could truly be said that it was beyond reasonable doubt!!

But then I suppose there would be many of us that would see that as the barest of minimum percentages to declare 'beyond reasonable doubt' and woukl far rather the percentage was a good deal higher, perhaps above 90% or even as high as 95%.

But then mathematically 76% will do!!!

From those that know.

And yes indeed it is surprising.
