If the Oracle at Delphi felt pressured to predict favorable outcomes, could you measure that pressure in Pascals?

Maybe. The last I heard from Greece was Pythia starting to spell:
A - like Assembler
B - like Basic Control Programming Language
C - and she vanished in a puff (measured at about 100 hecto Pascal) since there should have been a G(amma)

Well, she would have taken the current value of the variable before incrementing it, which means she would have wound up with C instead of G all the same, and so would have still gone POOF!
