Default LC, OT, BP (bad post) about variance and life

I was reading an article about 200 "bad" lenders. They are recognized as bad because they have received a lot of complaints. They constitue about 2% of all lenders in their class. Now if all lenders were equally good/bad/honest, the 2% with the most complaints would look pretty awful anyway.

Another example is when 3 people on some block get cancer some people have a hard time allowing for variance as a possibility.

Anyway, I'm sure most of you have thought about this. Also, I told you it was a bad post, so if you read it and are mad, don't say I didn't warn you.

I'm well past 31. It's the Logan's Run effect.

Why? Was it the content? Was it the mispelling of "constitute"? A missing comma? The cancer thing? You just got ripped off by a lender? Doesn't seem like a misuse of variance to me, but I could be wrong.

edit: After rereading the OP, I see my response should have been "Don't say I didn't warn you."
