how many of you regularly post "speculative" comments just so you can return and say "i told you so," you daft hypocrites?

Guardian's The Fiver was great yesterday...
Billions of people all over the world watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. Why? Because it was a man walking on the flippin' moon! Not because it was Neil Armstrong. If it had been Buzz Aldrin, Tom Hanks, Ali Dia or a foul-tempered mahout with no name and front teeth made from candle wax, folks would still have tuned in. By contrast, if Nasa had announced that on 20 July 1969 Neil Armstrong was going to totter across the car park of his local Walmart, there would have been a television audience of precisely zero. See the difference? Well, do you, Andy Gray and Richard Keys?
The primary reason Keys and Gray became so unpopular during their recently-deceased television careers was that they seemed to come to believe that millions of people subscribed to Sky Sports just to see them; that they were at least as important as the football, as if viewers couldn't really appreciate a $tevie Mbe long-range goal unless Gray officially confirmed it was good by Scottishly shrieking "you beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuty!" and Keys turned gravely to the camera and intoned ... um, actually the Fiver can't recall what Keys used to intone. The memory of them is fading, see. And yet, somehow, football goes on. Seems they weren't as indispensable as they thought.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.
