magnatizer, Your inference was very logical and may be correct in the end. I'm just wondering what is the truth here. I'm sure we all get fed bits and pieces of it, but when a statistician under oath states firmly there is no correlation between two variables, usually that means that he has churned the numbers and obtained (eg, if he did the pearson's test) rho close to 0. If he did not at least do that or some other well established formula, then he had no basis for his statement. (Statisticians are rarely that exact, and usually express fuzzy probabilistic laden opinions) SbH
