    The numbers over those two seasons were virtually identical.

    Yes but that’s not the butterfly effect.

    Then forget the butterfly effect and roll with him not saying what he said and us not then having this conversation.

    Well...

    The Butterfly Effect is a branch of Chaos Theory and evolved from one of my favourite stories of one of my favourite topics. Henri Poincare was trying to model the movement of 3 celestial bodies (following on from the work of Newton modelling 2) and thought he had succeeded so was having his working published in the name of the King of Sweden. It was then found to have some errors in his work and he had to pay to have the works recalled - which pretty much bankrupted him - as to publish incorrect work in the name of the King was a big no.

    He then devoted years to trying to find out his errors and finally showed (not proven hence it's only a theory) that whilst two celestial bodies can be modelled perfectly once you try to show it with three then you cannot do it unless you know ALL the conditions (the environment on the planets, the size, shape, etc) not just of the planets but everything else that could affect them (so everything else in the universe). It's that minor changes in the starting condidtions lead to unpredictable wildly different outcomes with no pattern to the results.

    Instead of giving up he published what became the foundations of Chaos Theory and won himself a host of acclaim. Snatching victory from the jaws of failures.

    Actually no I merely gave my view which was shared by others on here and in the fanbase and unfortunately was challenged on secondary points of no relevance.

    Anyway let's move on we've been going around in circles.

    Any transfer news?

    Chaos theory. You've basically just nailed it.

    I think Bruce was just lucky. It was fortunate that other teams finished below us as usually he'd have got relegated in those seasons.

    Is it just a branch though? From my understanding it’s the founding concept of chaos theory. Though it’s a bit above above my station and I haven’t looked at since doing bird migration in 2000
