Sorry Canie, nothing so sinister. I do enjoy a good gentlemens debate though....

My problem with vague predictions, in a nutshell, is this. If somebody is going to boast success, which is what Mr. Gentry has done, they'd better be able to prove it, which he has not done and cannot do due to the vague prediction.

Had Mr. Gentry stated that "A few 3s occurred in the general area I mentioned", there would not be a problem. Mr. Gentry indicated that 3s occurred in the actual area he predicted. Problem is, no specific area was predicted, but rather a straight line.

Bottom line, as always, accuracy is the cornerstone of scientific reason.
