Hi Bobert,

You tell me, what's the difference:

A. " I have definitely won the lottery"

B. " I may have won the lottery"

Who goes out and spends the money A or B.

May have died implies that there is an element of doubt, the "death" has not been verified.

"Definitely dead" implies that there is no doubt that the death has been verified.

Hopkins figures were estimates that is why they stated may have died. IraqBodyCount figures are all verified the low range figure by two independent sources the high figure by one source.

Proportional Representation = Ineffecive non-government, classic example Italy.
