I am going to go to sleep so I can not wait until someone posts fifteenth post enabling me to post the summary of the first page at the top of the second one. So my summary is here.

The problem is the following: we have just one question but as many answers as the respondents. Moreover each respondent thinks that his or her answer is the right one. So everyone is right though everyone has some other rightness than everyone else. Assuming that everyone is right – everyone wins the prize. What is that prize? The prize is your satisfaction because you are right (in your opinion) and you had an opportunity to tell your point to the other people.

After the first page of the thread and 13 voters the podium is the following:
1. Heraclitus and Socrates (tie)
2. Parmenides, Plato, and Aristotle (tie)
3. empty
So there is a crowd on our podium. Maybe the second page and the next voters will clear that situation a bit.
