I don't want to open the discussion on randomising again, Maxxx,
Stefan and others had this already.
But here's something Karin herself mentioned: We tend to have tag
lines based upon our own experiences and characters. We even attribute
them connotations others may not see.
Since I can't actually see why RITLabs should put a very difficult
semantical matcher into its code, I think it is pure coincidence
together with "poor" choice (just look up my signatures!) in our
cookie files and perception.
Just think of it, how often will you remember a perfectly harmless tag
line? And how often will you remember the one that you don't find
appropriate? The problem with human perception especially when
coincidence is involved is that we try as hard as we can to find a
pattern.
The German language knows one word for the English "random" and
"coincidence": Zufall. The second English word shows how we treat
random incidents happening to us, it implies a kind of pattern
("co-").
BTW, although the author of the below tag line is a good friend of
mine and although I really like his wisdom, I did not choose this
specific sentence by him for this thread. And if I did not write it
here, you may not even have noticed it.
