I quoted you.  Above.  The quote is still there.

And you are an idiot.

But there *is* a trend: summers tend to be hotter than winters.  They do.
This is something so obvious that you are now clearly just saying stupid
things to beg for attention.

Nobody said that an especially hot summer indicates a trend that, say, the
next summer will also be especially hot.  But the idea that there is no
trend for summers to be hot is just stupid.

But you are just being stupid to change the topic.

The fact is I *predicted* a change in the usage of Linux (an increase)...
and then that change came to be.  Now there are some problems with this:

1) My prediction was vague... I did not have numbers or specific times
   set with it. 
2) I also predicted that the increase in usage would stay the same or
   continue to increase (though not at the rate we saw for the second
   half of 2012).  This did *not* happen - usage plummeted.

Now given how (1) my prediction was vague and (2) my later predictions based
on the same reasoning did not pan out, it can easily be argued that the
reasons for the increase were not tied to the logic of my predictions and,
in fact, I have never claimed that the correlation between my (vague)
prediction and the data showed the cause-and-affect I spoke of.

If you were intelligent and actually understood stats and logic this is the
avenue of "attack" you would use against my claims.  But you, being
completely ignorant of the topic, made up all sorts of BS just to attack and
troll me.  Your newest off topic BS about there not being a trend for
summers to be hotter than other times of the year is just your latest in a
series of stupid claims.

Before that you looked at standard distributions on normal curves - and
notice now how you run from that topic.  Unlike me who admits when he is
wrong, you will *never* admit you were wrong in at least two ways about
*your* topic of standard distributions on normal curves:

1) You were wrong to deny that the sigma lines can be correctly drawn
   based on the distance from the mean to the inflection points.
2) You were wrong to deny that the poorly done depictions I showed
   you were, in fact, poorly done.

You just run from these things.  Snip and run.  And you will again in your
response to this message.  You are a coward who cannot admit when he is
wrong.

You also made up stories about how I missed steps in my creation of a linear
trend line.  You were wrong.  Now what you perhaps could have argued is that
the trend line I made was not the best form of analysis... and given the
non-linear nature of the data you could have made a strong case for this.
But you did not understand the topic well enough to make this case, either.
So now when it is pointed out how I missed *no* steps and you claimed I had,
you run from that, too - or just repeat your claim but fail to mention what
steps I missed in the creation of a linear trend line.  You, again, showed
off your ignorance.

Even in this debate when there were clear openings where an intelligent and
well informed person could find reasoned weaknesses with my comments, you
were not able to!  You went on the attack and glommed on to the support of
my stalker, but you never were able to actually find the weaknesses in my
arguments - I am the one who pointed them out to you!  And, given how you
never admit to your own errors, you just snip and run from all commentary on
your *obvious* errors.

Why will you not talk about your incorrect claims about sigma lines being
correctly depicted at the inflection points?  Why won't you talk about your
incorrect claims about the poorly depicted sigma lines?

Why are you so afraid and cowardly?  Why are you so afraid to admit when you
are wrong?  

Ah: but it is useless to ask you - all you will do is run... and then hope
my stalker comes in to back you and helps you work to change the topic
again. You are not mature enough to actually speak of where you have been
wrong.
