I do blame the media, but that poster had to know something about it before posting.
Because, they wrote that this had happened “15 out of 16 times”. See, they knew that wasn’t a solid streak, but chose to omit that it was only as recently as ‘04 it was invalidated.
And I’ve seen the truth posted on every thread where this downer “factoid” was posted...that it ALWAYS proved true (and then FReepers would add...”except when it didn’t”).
except when it didnt.
