A: We’ve been over this a thousand times. The data
is irrefutable! Look, we’ve done extensive re-
search, built studies, and read the literature, and
there is conclusive evidence to support my theory!
B: Horowitz, I beg to differ. Even in your most recent
study, the investigative approach was flawed! You
know as well as I do that the collection of data
was not systematic, and there is a large margin
of error. To draw a definitive conclusion based on
that data would be misleading
A: That is preposterous!
B: You are trying to single-handedly solve one of the
world’s greatest mysteries, and yet you are oblivi-
ous to the fact that you are wrong!
A: I am not wrong! The chicken came first!
B: No! The egg came first!
