We can debate what's a fact and what isn't later. It seems we'll have plenty of time for that.

In the meantime, that makes three times you have now refused to explicity state the terms under which you would concede defeat in your proposed wager. What percentage is there in accepting a bet which you will never have to admit when we've won?

Yeah, yeah, I know, "just as Robert Saxe stated", but I want you to put it in your own, unambiguous words that specifically apply to the wager. It's amazing how other people's words get "reinterpreted" as time goes by. ("Congress shall pass no Law" comes to mind), and the last thing I want to hear in 18 months is "well when he said.... he really MEANT.... ". No, no sale on that BS.

Your words, your terms, no ambiguity, or forget it. You're the one proposing the bet, I don't think this is an unreasonable request. Speaking for myself and no one else.
