you're trying to prove that shorts get picked more, yes? -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:58 11
- no, I think he's trying to prove that talls don't get pickpocketed at all. If he can prove that, several other related facts are proven as well. - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:59 3
  - it's meaningless unless they get picked at a different rate than shorts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 14:00 2
    - The concept of pickpocketing exists. Someone has been pickpocketed. If no tall has been pickpocketed, only shorts get pickpocketed. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 14:01 1
      - It just makes perfect sense. - Spawn Apr 13, 14:01
- No, just that pick pockets avoid Talls. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:59 6
  - if no shorts get pickpocketed, then maybe pickpockets avoid everyone. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:59 5
    - the very existance of pickpockets invalidates that hypothesis. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 14:01 4
      - and I thought you were an empiricist. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 14:01 3
        
        yes, and the empirical evidence shows that pickpocketing happens. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 14:02 2
        
        sure, to my tall dad! - loosilu Apr 13, 14:03 1
        
        there's a word for people who carry on in things when they know the other side is annoyed by them - Reagen Apr 13, 14:06
