Not quite accurate, if you were following closely.

Sure, but a 5% chance is the type of probability I'm talking about, not the high
probabilities that are being tossed about.  I could go on and on about the
studies in genetics I've made, etc.  I could go on about the people I know who
prove this 5% is much closer to the actuality.  The problem is, no matter how
much people say "If you are learned in a subject or have personal experience we
will grant you that you have a point of view,"  people continue to stomp all over
people just because they have an opinion that is not popular.  This is my version
of the spoiled meat thing.  Not everything you have been taught is true, and the
idea that height has a direct correlation to foot size is not true.  If people
would practice what they preach and grant that maybe...just maybe...I know a
little bit about this instead of condemning my point of view as herasy, I might
not get so infuriated.  If someone wants to believe that there is a direct
correlation, let them.  It's his/her beliefs.
