        So what you are saying is that it is utterly impossible for 
anyone to notice any patterns without being given explicit instructions: 
"This has a pattern that says...".  

        Let's say I give to you the list of (A1,B1,C1,D1,E1,...).  
I am absolutely not giving you any rules to determine what the 
next item on the list is.  Now, if you can guess what the next item 
on this list is, you have clearly broken into my computer and 
looked at my full version of the list, thus stealing my 
intellectual property and opening yourself to a lawsuit by me.  

        That seems to be what you are saying, right?
