Sounds like foot-in-mouth disease to me.

Remember what assuming does:  "makes an ass out of U and Me".  sounds
like you did a pretty good job there of assuming Rahul.  Any the reason
you didn't find a logical argument to be countered is because of the
simple fact that you think statistically, not logically (which is why I
gather that you find so much pleasure in pushing those fault percentages
on all of us).
