EDIT: Apparently there is no way to post links in discussion pages. I\'ll leave my original post as-was, so if anyone\'s interested in the evidence, they can follow the links and remove the extraneous bits of the URL in their browser.

Also, since it\'s part of the example I\'m removing, [[http://www.j-archive.com/wageringcalculator.php?a=26600&b=23400&c=11000&player_a=Emma&player_b=James&player_c=Jay here]] is the link to the optimal wager calculator showing that James bet the right amount. And a [[https://waitbutwhy.com/2019/06/did-james-make-the-right-final-jeopardy-bet.html visual walkthrough]] of the math behind it.

I\'m removing the AlternativeCharacterInterpretation example because there \'\'is\'\' no room for interpretation here: James lost fair and square. He\'s made various tweets in response to this idea, and other notable champions have stepped in to say how stupid -- and disrespectful -- it is to believe that a player lost on purpose.

Links incoming once I figure out how discussion page formatting works, because apparently it\'s different.

He’s made various tweets in response to this idea, and other notable champions have stepped in to say how stupid -- and disrespectful -- it is to believe that a player lost on purpose. Here’s one from [[https://twitter.com/James_Holzhauer/status/1135732196830982145 James]], one from [[https://twitter.com/whoisalexjacob/status/1135950314178134016 Alex Jacob]], and one from [[https://twitter.com/KenJennings/status/1136320162875895809 Ken Jennings]], backing up a video where Austin Rogers and Monica Thieu say the same thing. Many of the replies to these tweets also emphasize it very well, with [[https://twitter.com/CycloneSteel/status/1136032125138849793 one person claiming]] “I was at the taping. James didn’t throw squat. Emma was just a boss.” I’m not going to go through everyone’s Twitter accounts and link to every single relevant tweet and reply, but James losing on purpose is not an interpretation so much as a [[https://twitter.com/James_Holzhauer/status/1135780342319669248 conspiracy theory]]. (And in case anyone’s going to say it, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Jeopardy/comments/c3r88p/ken_jennings_must_lose_a_bit_more_of_his_soul/ersu3yd/ Ken didn’t lose on purpose either]].)
