Ogg and Snog
Ogg and Snog were sitting around the cave. Snog is watching Ogg pile up
a little stack of sticks and treelimbs. Snog: "OGG! You know what happened last time you tried that trick with the two pieces of flint and the pile of little sticks. Now you have no fur left on the front of your pants and shirt, and both of our eyebrows are gone and all the hair back to the top of our heads. You aren't going to do that again, are you?" Ogg, of course, being convinced that correlation is not causal decides that maybe after lightning struck the zebra and turned it into roasts and chops that were so much tastier than raw, it wasn't a solid enough bit of evidence to relate lightening to the hot red stuff that came out of stick when enough sparks and blowing on them produced heat, to give it up. So, of course, I'm typing this to you by banging a rock on my desktop loud enough for you to "read" it a thousand or so miles away by interpreting my pounding rhythm. We MUST always wait for cause based research to prove, rather than move ahead based on our observations that show correlations. Snog grabs a larger limb from the pile, and announces, "Well, I'm off for a date. I know I'll get what I want because every time I smack'm in the head with one of these they lay down and give it up. See, caused based research is the way to go." "Lay off that correlation stuff. I'll only get you burned." 0:- Hint: cause is for scientists. Correlation of certain kinds, for practical everyday use. :] |

Were they working PR for a moneygrubbing agency?

Or am I wrong and you wish I'd ignore you and stop helping you reveal what an empty headed, but dangerous to parents twit you really are? 0:- 0:- wrote: Ogg and Snog were sitting around the cave.
