Then we can take any 'rules' of such sorts as not rules but as probabilities.
Far be it for us to actually find a common link that fits all of the data, no no... let's just assume that the bits which don't fit our conclusions are irrelevant exceptions to our conclusions. All black people are right-handed... except the ones that aren't, but they don't count because <arbitrary reasons>. The data correlated between 90% of it, let's just ignore that other 10%: We've proven something! HOT DOG!
Eyup, we ur scientarsts!
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
