No wonder you so rarely tell the truth: you do not even know that a lie is
something you knowingly tell which is contrary to the truth.

This is not in contention.

This is not in contention.

See: you are clueless on what you have been told.  And you snip and run from
your mistakes:

1) You were wrong to claim it was a "fact" that some data points
   were outliers: the reality is that there is no clear
   definition nor single standard way to determine such, and thus
   such determinations are subjective and *not* "facts".

2) You made a rather silly claim to say that 17% of the data are
   "outliers" - especially when those data are in a direct series
   tied to a *very* clear trend that includes 25% of the data.

3) Outliers are atypical - you clearly are stretching to call 17%
   of the data, which occurs in a clear pattern, "atypical" to the
   data.  Tied to the top 3: <http://tinyurl.com/7hymgfg>.  Makes
   it very clear just how clueless cc is.

4) You have clearly placed a great deal of focus on the
   correlation coefficient even though it is unwise to do so at
   the expense of a focus on the visual graphs / visible trends.

5) You were wrong to deny that the sigma lines can be correctly
   drawn based on the distance from the mean to the inflection
   points. 

6) You were wrong to deny that the poorly done depictions I showed
   you were, in fact, poorly done.  They were unambiguously wrong.

7) You were wrong to say I missed steps in the creation of a
   linear trend line in Excel.  I did no such thing (and you
   never were able to list any steps I missed in creating a
   linear trend line, nor explain why the MS site and others
   would also miss these "steps" you spoke about)

8) You were wrong to say I was pushing the correlations I noted
   as being proof of the causation I had spoken of earlier.  I
   did no such thing.

9) You repeatedly snip and ignore comments which are contrary to
   your claimed views.

These things are *not* in contention either.  Hence why you snip and run.

> That's pretty far from your original statement.

One: your lies are very different than my statements.  That is not in
contention.

Two: as we get new data I alter my views... as is the rational and honest
thing to do.  This is what you are incapable of doing... to the point that
you see it as a bad thing when I do it.  Yes: you think it is *bad* that I
alter my views based on new data.

You do realize that you have made it clear you know you are lying, right?

I keep asking you that and you keep running.  You hate knowing how obvious
your lies are.
