[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 341561, member: 8733"] No, actually I have a better chance of teaching a 3 year the concept of Einsteins Theory of Relativity than getting some of you to actually acknowledge that you don't undestand the concept of luck nor the proper English usage of the word. Regardless of how many definitions I point out, you seem to have decided upon your own! Being able to duplicate something has nothing to do with it being lucky or not. Repeatability and consistency have nothing to do with the concept of luck! If you cannot understand that luck, by its very definition, DEMANDS that no input on your part affects it, than you cannot begin to understand that what occurred with the snipers was not luck! If you don't understand the language, you can't begin to appreciate the concepts! Sorry guys, but the use of "luck" in these cases is completely inappropriate. Bill [/QUOTE]
