Transcript
- [Two people are standing together, Megan and Cueball.]

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results, Cueball might not be willing to marry Megan next month. Empirical measurements of human behavior are naturally flawed due to the complexity of our decision making processes. Davidy²²[talk] 09:05, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
