Oh, well. I'm convinced.

Convinced of what? :\

LOL curse those reptilian humanoids! ;)

Neat how numbers work out though, should watch the 2nd part of it.. the mind over matter part is really interesting.

The thing is, any skilled mathematician can do that with just about any set of numbers. You can manipulate them into all sorts of seemingly connected states.

One of our most useful adaptations, the ability to see patterns, sometimes fails us in spectacular fashion. Check out the phenomena of Subjective Validation and Confirmation Bias.

This gives a good example of it, in fairly plain English.
