Apparently consistency matters more to me than self-promotion

For much the same reasons that led me to say "Perhaps in the spirit of egalitarianism one could eschew naming the goal of getting more women on panels after a man," please don't refer to my on-going f/m documentation as "the Nicoll test".

Eh, can it be a test if the outcome is only implied and not specifically stated? The Bechdall test was a test right from its invention, whereas all you've been doing is compiling stats (I say 'all', clearly it was a lot of work) and letting them tell their own story.

Compiling the stats is MUCH more work than proposing even a somewhat useful test like the Bechdall.
