Question: In science, in reference to probability, how come what you predict is not always what you get?
Answer from 12 year old:
Because experimental and theoretical probability are not the same.
Answer from Hight School student:
Because everyone has their own opinions, views,concepts, and interests, and no one wants to believe they are wrong about what they are saying. Well, what these many people have to say forms into predictions. Then, someone who is a couple of steps higher in level and who actually studies the topic can tell you the actual answer.

What is going on here is obvious. The middle school student is talking about probability. The high school student is talking about the blogosphere.
