I'd like to see that reposted. I remember seeing it before, but I don't
seem to have saved it. In fact, I was just recently trying to remember what
you said several months ago about the underlying argument structure of the
Philippine trigger languages.

The human mind is inherently fallible. It sees patterns where there is only
random clustering, overestimates and underestimates odds depending on
emotional need, ignores obvious facts that contradict already established
conclusions. Hopes and fears become detailed memories. And absolutely
correct conclusions are drawn from completely inadequate evidence.
