A Question for the Quants
When someone who was born on third base but thinks he hit a triple to get there self-importantly tells me “trends often reverse at inflection points”, should I:
a) Ask for data to support this hypothesis
b) Mutter something about heteroscedasticity in the hope that fear of a conversation about statistics will make him go away
c) Punch him in the throat

I'm going with D.
Please don't ever use the H-word again.
ok mike. can i still go with option d?
Never forget, "violence is always an option." Even if you originally picked another option, you can change to violence at any time.
For instance, your conversation may have gone something like this:
Giant d**che bag: "trends blah blah blah..."
Daniel: "do you even realize that you have no idea what you're talking...um...what's that over there (pointing to something behind the GDB, as he turns) >swift kick in the pants<..."
Please note that "...um..." denotes the transition from plan a to plan d.
I wish this were a dinner party. It would have been fun to watch Bubba act that out while Mike and Daniel tried not to blow water out their noses laughing. AZ is too far away.
