    GLENN (to Steve):Thanks for taking a shot at "linear causality".

    ERIN: LOL you and your violation of quotation marks
    You put them in when you shouldn't and leave them
    out when you should put them in...
    All in the name of confirmation bias
    I never called it linear causality Glenn you did.
    I was trying to describe the relationship of
    causes and effects.

    ERIN:>Can you explain why it is completely ruled out.

    GLENN:I wish I could. But I think physicists can tell based on
    what happens, and don't need to know how it happens.

    ERIN: what do you mean they don't need to know how
    it happens? how can you be sure its causal when you
    don't know?

    you said you were happy with Wim's defintions right?
    So who is having a confirmation bias with this
    phenomenon?

    1) causal--presume a common precondition, even if we don't know what that
    would be.

    2)Acausality then simply means that we don't understand how A could happen
