Your arguing doesn't apply here. I wasn't talking about a global
coincidence that anyone would have their PicassoII manuals at work, but
the coincidence that *I* had mine at work. I never have any reason to
bring it in (let alone read it), but that day I just picked it up and
took it. I agree with the faking example (my favourite is the stage
hypnotist who whittles down 5000 people to 5 who happen to be
hypnotisable (or is that gullible)), but it doesn't apply to the
individual.
