And what would such correlation prove? I am quite confident I can show you all sorts of high correlations between HFH edifices he has participated in building and things such as: sun spots, stock price movements of ove 1000 listed securities, transits of some major and minor planets, the number of times paris hilton farts in a year, the barking frequenscy of some dogs, drug arrests in some towns, the number of posts on some lists, the number of vowels on the front page of some major dailies, etc. The point being, mere correlation does not prove anything. There ae thousands of spurious correlations to anything you want to find correlations for. What is needed is a structural explanative model-- as to why such a correlation should be found, the finding of such other correlations in fraud cases, and any number of other things before you can begin to suggest a causal relationship. > I think the Carter Center in Atlanta serves as a front for the whole > sordid enterprise, too! "Sorid enterprise" now you have gone from unsubstanted fantasy speculation to depcting such as reality. Thats the kind of fantasy/acting out "cross-over" that some say becomes dangerous. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Drugs Don't Discriminate.
