Listen to the good doctor, please :)

I know... At this stage, I should simply listen to everyone. I however have so many things to do... The equation 'work = hobby = passion' makes it complicated. However, I will have a good break starting from next Friday, and I will definitely relax!

The problem of sorting data is something our brains tackle all the time. Even now as I write this I am filtering out data that is 'boring', that doesn't matter to me, that doesn't seem relevant to my expectations of reality.

There was the comment from @killiany who also made another connection with the human brain. It is definitely a good one and it maps pretty much what is going on.

Perhaps this is one way 'accidents' happen. We filter data based on what we know and what we expect and then the unexpected happens and we are not prepared the anomalous event.

This is how analyses are thought off. However, as mentioned in my answer to @yaziris' comment, we also record so-called "minimum bias event" to give a chance to the "unexpected unexpected" to show up.

Obviously your piece is delightful, engaging--otherwise, why would I be thinking about it? Thank you for opening a doorway into what used to seem inaccessible.

Thanks a lot for your nice words, and have a nice week-end!
