Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Rohini ji, The percentages were suggested to me by somebody who has 40 years of experience. The said individual is also humble, helpful, and was not dropped on his head when a little boy, which, one understands even without statistical analysis, can lead to an odd fetish for figures, not to mention a cranky and rude disposition. ===== Balaji Narasimhan * http://www.sherlock-holmes.com/balaji.htm Author, Sherlock Holmes: Solutions from the Sussex Downs Editor, The Partial Art of Detection ===== _______________________________ Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Enter now. http://promotions./goldrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Experience is a great thing but numbers and percentages should not be bandied about loosely. You may want to call it a fetish or whatever, but that is a lesser evil than pseudo-statistical number dropping. Regarding being dropped on the head as a baby, from what I have heard, that can cause severe damage to intellect and generally produces an individual who would accept anything and everything and hosts a happy but silly grin all the time and never questions anything. The clinical picture you describe for the head-drop syndrome does not fit the bill :-) But seriously, since neither of us were dropped on our heads as babies, how the heck can someone gauge the relative proportion of how much is technique/technical, how much is art and how much is that innate ability (genetic, deific or whatever). And it would vary from person to person so much that such statistics even though obviously wild guesstimates are simply going to be useless. Perhaps should be restated: astrology is part technical/logical, part art and partly depends on natural abilities (including natural selection, genes, environment and Grace of God).
