[ExI] multiplication from division

[Adrian Tymes]

Political futures markets are a thing.  However, those who yell and
scream loudest tend not to have money - or at least, not money they
could be enticed to put on such markets, even for the positions they
present themselves as 100% sure of, with ample reasons they can give
that have nothing to do with, "I don't really believe this will work."
