"probably" according to what? Just producing a possible decomposition of a graph and arbitrarily assigning meaning to the components is rationalization, not empirical inquiry.

It’s about as empirical as the chart everyone sees that describes the effect, and as rationalizations go it seems like a plausible one.

[mwkaufma]

How does it become more "plausible" just by doing number-wang absent one iota of external confirmation? It's a tautology.

Thanks for numberwang today. Probably my favorite meme for board meetings and all-hands presentations
