Yes, I do find it is interesting how much faith we have in something by it just being called scientific. But...

About the example of split couples finding themselves 95% or even 100% compatible with their ex's on dating sites: that can be used both ways. The ex's actually DID end up choosing each other and DID have some good times and were, day I say, "compatible" for a set period of time. Plus we're not even sure what drove the divorces in these examples. Did someone cheat? Was there a specific unforeseen event that happened? Heck, the ex's themselves didn't see the split coming in the beginning/match-making part of their relationship.
