    Correlation =/= causation

    Also, not how math and distribution curves work.

    At an iq of 150, thats only .5% of the population. At 160, .004%, the total curve additvely is roughly .65 of a %, assuming 100% of people above 150 iq are psycopaths (also not how it works, but using your logic), this does not account for the remaining .35% of psycopaths in the population.

    There is at least one walmart driver I can say who could be responsible for one, maybe. He threatened on the CB to shoot me, when he claimed I "cut him off" when I was coming up the hammer lane and he couldn't get over in front of me. I can't help it he could only do 62 running up the hill and I was moving at 70.

    Not my problem, it exists and governs physics, ie reality.

    Whats the phrase, "ignorance of the law is no excuse", well, math is the law, so not liking it changes nothing

    Well, there's a whole lot of things in life that I don't understand or know about and I don't care to. But I'm perfectly happy because, at the end of the day, they don't concern me. So, I guess, in a way, that changes everything.

    Ignorance of the law is actually a valid excuse - but only for tax fraud, and only if you have a lawyer.

    Thats a hard pill for me to swallow, anyone with the money to have a lawyer argue they were ignorant strikes me as the kind of person that probably wasnt ignorant of it in the first place, but maybe im letting my blinkered idealism about us living in a meritocracy show. (Oh yes, im WELL aware it isnt a meritocracy, but i really wish it were)

    Yeah, it's really a mind shattering blow when you find that out. It's also been tried as a defense for large scale pollution (officer, I swear I didn't know dumping sewage directly into the river upstream of the water treatment plant wad dangerous), with mixed results.
