About the Piece:
In statistics, inter-rater reliability is a measurement of the degree of agreement for consensus; a tool useful for judges serving on examination boards or other similar panels charged with affecting the fates of human beings. The term describes a system reliant on homogeneity which, in my estimation, is absurd and practically impossible (or should be). Life is rich and wonderful for being curious, strange. and diverse. Be wary of sameness and be yourself!
