The word is correlation, not causation.
Oh, well then. Correlation. Can't dispute that we group together like a fucking survey, (to quote the funky homosapien), but is that really good science? Hard science? You're a champion of correlation != causation, if I recall, so I found your proposition, um, to be equivalent to dredging a pond, or, trolling, if you will, like old men for "mall ass". Social science is all good, didn't mean to imply *it's* soft, but that's not exactly what we're talking about, I guess. Natural science- heh. For example, I have darker skin which is correlated with a lower risk > of melanoma. But I also just had a dysplastic mole removed which > correlated to a higher risk of melanoma. > I sold less Ice Cream so Global Warming is REAL!!! Sorry, being a bit disingenuous, I reckon. I just can't help but feel that this road leads towards such shoddy science as Racial Profiling- institutionalized stereo-typing, if you will. Scientific Racism- or, the most beautiful skulls, soToSpeak. The guy in the suit won't steal, generally*, because he's got money already, obviously. Thus, all we need to watch are the kids in hair- nets and saggy pants . *damnit, should left "generally" out. Sure, I laugh when I see that in real life*, but I feel kind-of unsafe when the cops, TSA, what-have-you, are doing much the same damn thing, and thinking that it's keeping us "safe". *like in Tar-zhay(Target), and the little corner store.
