“Potential signatures of life” is not proof of life.

Amazing how scientists who are trained to know the difference between “proof” and a “statistical likelihood” still seem to mess it up when making their case for a pet-project.

I chuckle about scientific statistics.

I found I had a benign brain tumor.

They told me at the time it was something like one in five million people when they discovered it.

Recently, I had it checked again. Now it was something like one in three million people.

Why the drop? Because more people are getting MRIs, the only way these things are discovered unless it kills you.

Statistics are funny things.

I become less “special” every day.
