To test "Randomness". We all laughed at such idiocy.
Then, I thought- where would such a stupid idea come from?
Where else?
Another Christian that is pig dick ignorant of his own book. I recommend reading Josha where you'll find your blood thirsty intellectual forefathers chopping off foreskin, walking around the walls of Jericho seven times, and blowing horns as part of a siege strategy.
Walking around the walls of Jericho and walking the bearing around the yard to see what happens.....curios.

Pulling a Haldane, are you? "You did it yourself in nine months!"
p.s. I just read that Wikipedia article on 6sigma, and I find everything about it specious, starting from the name, the sect-like organizational scheme where you have champions promoting it in a company and whatnot. Belch? What is this, the 12 step program to better quality control crossed with tupperware and scientology?
I have six sigma certification. Properly used, six sigma is effective as a tool to help place boundaries on and quantify improvement ideas, but I have seen the tool misused and abused. One way is to try and employ six sigma as the basis of a quality system; chaos ensues and quality suffers. Many people don't have sufficient statistical analysis skills to properly use six sigma; this results in a bunch of flashy presentations with eroneous statistical results that sound impressive, but are ultimately shown to be flawed and misleading once someone that understands statistics starts poking at the analysis. The sad part is that some of the worst offenders are the Blackbelts that are supposed to be the experts here.
Another mistake is that people try to use six sigma as a stand alone RCA tool. It can be used as part of a proper RCA, but can't stand alone. I could go on like this, but my point is that six sigma has its merits; however, people don't understand its limitations and often employ it to the detriment of quality.
