I found it presumptuous, superfluous, distasteful and verging on the obscene to try to slot charity giving into a sort of supermarket best value line-up.
Some things transcend pure calculation and profit, I hope.
Thank you for downloading More or Less from BBC Radio 4.
Here's Tim Harford.
But then, three days later... Hello, Ruth.
Hi, Tim.
A new poll was published showing the Better Together side was six points ahead, excluding the don't-knows, which is a pretty solid margin, well above the reported margin of error.
Another YouGov internet poll showing this time the no vote in the lead.
And an ICM telephone poll for The Guardian also showing the Better Together campaign ahead, but only by two points, which is within the margin of error.
And so the polling continues.
It's important to understand something about these polls.
Many of them, including, as you've mentioned there, Tim, the Sunday Times YouGov poll that caused all the fuss, are internet polls.
In a nutshell then, surveys of an internet panel need quite a bit of tweaking to make them reliable.
And the polls are so close, Anthony Wells says he can't be sure what the result will be.
But he says he is certain that in the weeks leading up to last Sunday's YouGov poll, he saw a move towards yes.
Multiply it by 75.
Yes, please.
Multiply this by 75.
Yes, please.
23,000.
