If the times were off by just one minute, would this "proof" be making the rounds? We see what we want to see and reinforce that which we desperately want to hold true. This is how superstition began. We celebrate those who overcome the odds and succeed in business, love or life in general. We rarely hear about the many, many people who did not succeed even when following the same course of action. This is the human way and it is flawed as we all are.
