No one is game to ask how you "verified the rule".
How big was the sample size you used?
The verification would need to be statistically significant.
At what level of confidence was your hypothesis testing done?

Are you trying to imply something?

You realize that even if he did the measurements, he might not get any pleasure out of it and it is purely scientific, right? But lets say he had fun, it doesn't make him a bad person for driving on both sides of the road, does it?

I have an friend who is a very big real estate investor. He was once talking to a banker who asked him for a copy of his tax return. My friend told the banker there were two things he did not do:
1. He did not give out his tax return.
2. He did not give out his pecker size.

Our little group now refers to this exchange whimsically by referring to not giving out the "PS" form.
