Would you have read in the same "conspiracy theory" if the Indian gov't decided to buy Microsoft?

You know, I've been thinking, the only difference between a "conspiracy kook" and everyone else is that the "conspiracy kook" doesn't believe in coincidences.

So, I guess that criteria places me into that much-maligned category.

There's a saying in statistics - "correlation doesn't imply causation". Just because there's a coincidence doesn't mean one thing caused the other.

So-called conspiracy kooks will use coincidences as "proof" of whatever view of the world they're trying to advance.
