105. That is a nonsensical argument. There is absolutely no way Jeb's machine could have known in advance
what the margin was going to be. If you are correct, there is an action X

a) Would have helped Bush at the expense of Gore
b) That they thought they could get away with, and
c) That Jeb decided not to take because of Nader, that he would have taken if Nader was not in the race.

That is completely implausible. Any action that fit criteria A and B would have been taken regardless of whether Nader was in the race.
