Oh my gosh... I thought you were sci-fi... but, no! You're cliff-hanger!!

I'm with LL - I couldn't wait to find out what was in the 0.8 - after all, I love regressions on Excel spreadsheets - however, I really prefer the 0.99 kind - and what do I find - NOTHING more about the numbers - on with it man!

Hmm. Are you accusing me of making you want to read more? Hang in there. I promise to reveal my secrets by the end.
But you can't blame me for dragging this out, right?
Susan/Halfmom, my statistician friend tells me there are no correlations as high as 0.99 in the real world. In fact, he said 0.8 was about as high as you could reasonably expect. He was surprised. Who knows if he's right or not. This is goodwordediting after all.
(Though I always tested better in math than English. Funny.)

Yes, he is right - in the "real world" of uncontrolled experimental factors (people and nature).
Sorry, I forgot you were language driven - it was an nerd joke - tell your statistician friend that I was referring r squared for predicting unknown concentrations and then he'll understand -
although, I must say the day when one of our elders stood up to present a new year's budget with a graph and a predicitive correlation of 0.79, I had to giggle.
