An issue here is judy appears to equate anomoly with "statistical
significant anomoly" perhaps because she has little under standing of
statistics and the term "statistical significance." 

I have further defined what level of statistical significance I am
referring to in three or more posts: 4-5 standard deviations from the
average over a 90-360 day period.

Judy appears to make no distinction between some oddity -- any old an
anomoly, and the above: 4-5 standard deviations from the average over
a 90-360 day period. 

That is why I have been saying there is a huge semantic chasm here. If
some parties of the dsicussion have no clue as to technical and
precise terms being used in the discussion, its doomed to failure.
