The hypotheses may not be very original or earth - shaking to social scientists themselves — for example, that one can find circumstances in which some phenomenon that has plugged along suddenly undergoes a rapid change (The Tipping Point), or that an idea or plan that comes in a flash may be as good as
something developed with a great deal
of research and much thought (Blink), or that success may be based more
on special opportunities and hard work than
on native gifts (the current
Outliers).
... Fred S. Singer, if you read this, or if somebody who knows you, At KTH Stockholm, September 2006, did you get my pun about the
outliers being «outliars»??? And BTW, you are 39 years older
on the day than the love of my life... and there are only 2 women having that name on this very planet if not a bunch are having secret numbers... if you generous and dot - omitting, the Texan one... Anectdotal and OT... On topic, always adjustments upwards, after a while... Svenska Dagbladet, Sweden's 2nd biggest morning paper, publish monthly average temps, precipitation etc for Sweden in general and Stockholm in particular, the April «presentation» «already» May 26 or something like that, and, regarding Stockholm Observatory [inner city] 1,0 C too high..

And don't forget the many other surveys that have been done in parallel with STATS, all
of which show an overwhelming consensus (STATS is the low
outlier, but when I asked for the list
of questions three years ago, they were not available,
something I think casts doubt
on the conclusions as published
on the web).
