Now that you've acknowledged my inherent goodness, I must return the favor for communications to continue.
Parts 1 through 3 in this arc answered "Why do this exercise?" Parts 4 through 7 discussed "Why those messages?" Part 8 shared the results and analysis of the first anthropologic communication, "We trust you". Part 9 shared the same for "You can trust us", part 10 shared the results and analysis of "This is important", part 11 covered "This is important to you", part 12 explained "We can help" and part 13 answered "Who can you help?" with "We Can Help You". In part 14 you acknowledged that I'm a good person. Now I must reciprocate with "You're good people".
The "You're good people" results and analysis are: These values and the "We're good people" numbers are so closely aligned that we can state this is no cigar being a cigar and is non-consciously intended. "Non-consciously intended"? Yes, as in a Freudian slip -- revealing a belief that is intended to be a shared belief. Remember my writing about a search company's CTO who called our technology useless before he even saw it in action, then being impressed by its accuracy? That kind of thing. The close values of the "We trust you", "We're good people" and "You're good people" messages indicates that the concepts of "trust" and "good" are linked at a deep level in the speechwriter's mind. The actual values indicate that these concepts are not as well defined as the concept of help is (for example) and are better defined than the concept of importance (again for example).
