Doesn't it strike anyone strange if a kid is repeatedly violent and cruel to animals?

Nor did I say that you did. I was simply clearing up a fact of probability. It is one that gets blurred very frequently in the media, and as a student of such things I felt it prudent to clarify this.

And Gerald, I cannot agree with you more on your beliefs about the prudent usages of statistics.
