We're just not used to the language and procedure you've used Icare, and though some of us are more numbers-inclined everyone has a different way of doing it. You have your very own way of writing, and it's beautiful, but likewise your language of numbers is very much yours and none of us have ever been around you any amount to learn how you use it.

Hope I'm not sounding critical - people tell me I come across very blunt and direct and it offends people when I do. As someone who's special interests are language and numbers (specifically sequences and trends; patterns), I like how you write and you're using a scientific way of figuring out what you want to know, but the process itself and the explanation for it isn't how a lot of us think. If you think about a box - you may be an expert on the material of the box, and can tell us everything about its properties, but unless we are experts ourselves we wouldn't fully understand we're told about the properties. And because we use completely different materials, we have a different process of constructing the box so we can't even imagine how any other material would differ when used in construction because we haven't used anything different in our lives.

If you want to understand the trends and patterns by having us predict another's outcomes, and later give our own outcomes, I'm afraid we're much too experts on our own box material to think that laterally.

Hope this is a reasonably helpful explanation of why we're having trouble
