   Probably due to either...   
      
   a) Your inability to figure practical statistics, given full access to the   
   facts involved.   
      
   or   
      
   b) Your previously established bias, preventing you from wanting to examine   
   any  possibility that this could be something other than a coincidence.   
      
   Either one suits us just fine.
