call the doctor...(statistics 101)

[Dave Eaton <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

yes scott, and, to use your argument, the *physics* of the gen 1 locked centre
is a torque transfer of +/- 50%....

*****************************************************************************
my question remains, forget the bs, and tell me *how* i can reproduce this
fabled spider bite in either of my cars...
*****************************************************************************

btw, in your ramble about statistical non-events, you forget that *every* event
has statistical significance.  if i have 10 events, and 10,000 non-events, then
i can derive a distribution, a standard deviation, and figure that,
statistically, your *event*, is actually a *non* event (ie. outside the 3rd
s.d. of a normal curve).  enough said...
