I knew full well the futility of what I typed when I typed it, and his remark simply underscores it.
And I do understand the truth of statistical clustering, that seemingly random events will, because they are random, occur more frequently at one place or one time, at least during a relatively short period. This drives out brains batty, as we tend to see patterns in small samples, which often leads to the creation of superstition - ie the town's cursed. However, simply acknowleging that the universe isn't out to get us is not quite comforting enough.
