And here I was thinking that "runs analysis" was what white folk in the tropics do to determine the cause of their gastrointestinal complaints. Learn something new every day.

Glad you agree with me. I would hate to argue with you.

Speaking of intellectual snobbery...

It is aroused in me when "phenomena" (pl.) is confused with "phenomenon"(sing.).

Phenomena that are correlated does not imply cause and effect. Nor does it necessarily imply any connection at all.

I know that was inadvertent, Chuzzlewit. But since I have been accused of being too easy on you, I had to speak up, lest I lose my reputation for pedantry.

Drop by the Spelling and Grammar Lab, so that we can "spank" you properly. (Heh, heh.)

On the substance of your post: I am in full agreement, naturally.
