That is kind of mind blowing when you really start to think about it...

Ask me a question reacted to JW Insider in 13, 15, 17, __ , 21, 23, what’s the missing number in the sequence?
Of course, this could be part of a sequence that goes
7, 9, __ 13, 15, 17, __ , 21, 23, 25, __ , 29, __ , 33, etc., in which case no number is missing in that portion of the sequence. (In this case it would have been a series of incrementing odd numbers from 7 where we skip odd numbers that match the prime status of the previous number.)
It's for a similar reasons that pattern recognition in AI should never be considered "set in stone" but should only be given a probability. The probability was very high that the missing number was 19, but this should be subject to change on discovery of further information.
Another example happens all the time to engineers. If you happen to sample the amplitude of a 400 Hz sine wave at time increments of once per second you could get a sequence of 0, 0, 0, 0 ... etc. If you think it's a mistake and sample it 200 times a second you could still get 7, 7, 7, 7, etc., or 0, 0, 0, 0, etc., depending on when the wave starts its peaks and troughs. But you could sample it at some odd number of increments, or accelerate and decelerate the time sampling increments and discover it is a 400 Hz sine wave.

Ask me a question reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Mark Zuckerberg calling for International Censorship Laws to supercede US Constitutional Law seems almost treasonous. Is there a law restricting US Citizens from trying to undermine the US Constitution?

No, there is not. You may use any peaceful means to completely change the Government to suit any model of idea you have. Since the painfully ignorant have become the majority, this is now ... IN PROGRESS.

Ask me a question reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in I'm a wealthy Polish merchant in 1600. Can I freely move to London or Paris or will I have to deal with immigration controls?
If you and your associates are heavily armed, the chances of unimpeded access increases dramatically.

Ask me a question reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in What is the difference between a Ramjet and a Scramjet?
A scramjet is basically a piece of pipe with fire at the back end. The super compression of the incoming air at supersonic speeds alleviates the need for a LOT of parts... but depending on the size, will not work at all below certain supersonic speeds.

Ask me a question reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in What is it like to live in the center of London?
It depends on how much money you have to spend.
Anywhere from Stalag 17, to Buckingham Palace.
