Wow, that was some kind of reply! :notworthy:
I was going to just say it's like predicting the weather (which usually triggers a snarkly reply) and then refer them to Nate Silver's "The Weatherman Is Not a Moron" from the "Signal and the Noise", but helpfully published in the NY TImes. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/magazine/the-weatherman-is-not-a-moron.html). Your answer was much better!
Years ago my wife and I met another couple at a party. The guy asked me what I did for a living. At the time I sold for Mercedes-Benz. I asked him his occupation. He said he was a weatherman.
His wife exclaimed, "Hey, you both lie for a living!" I still laugh at her drunken rant w a modicum of truth.
Junk, you should start threads more often. You posted much of what I've thought about PFF. Bravo
