What was formerly thought to be 'white noise' is now understood to be patterns. And learning changes those patterns.

I'm putting you on my 'wait a while before reading his comments' list, hehe, because so far, it seems every time I post an article you misread it or give some kind of knee-jerk negative or just kind of pointlessly complaining response. So plz don't take offense if it seems I'm ignoring you. ;p (In fact, I've noticed your comments all seem different from before, like you've woken up on the wrong side of the bed the past couple of weeks, so... get well soon! ^_^)
