Familiarity: "I think I know this" vs. "I BETTER know this"

[mackromackro.livejournal.com]

A bit off-topic, but on topic question with the Pop Open in general:

Are people marking tracks as known if they're "very sure" they've heard the song? Or are people marking tracks as known if only they can immediately name the artist and song title, and no less? (note: neither guarantees completely accuracy)

I've been doing the latter. So, often, I mark "I know none of them". I was this close to marking two specific songs known in the Open so far but didn't, and I'm glad I didn't because on both counts, I WUR BEEN WRONG!

I'm asking purely for curiosity. Heavens! No whining allowed. ;-)

I will tick a track as known only if I can ID it by both artist and title -- mind this often takes half the song (or more) + digging through my mp3 library for a compare and contrast with the likely suspect. If this method fails and I'm still 99.9% certain I've heard the track (as has happened once) I wait till the reveals before voting, since there's always the possibility it's something I've heard without knowing what it was, which I won't count as "knowing".

This is my system also.
