Subject: [MD] cause and effect

Case, we're clearly onto something else.  So I thought it best to change the
subject.
 
[Case] 
I put "rounding error" among by 20 ideas that shook the world. The butterfly
effect essentially results from "rounding error." It is that little bit of
slop we can never clean up. Even in the esoteric whirled of mathematics,
irrational numbers are examples of "rounding error" gone wild.
 
[Kevin]
"rounding error" as cause???  As in it caused the world to shake, causes
Chinese butterflies to flap their wings and causes irrational numbers to
transcend???
 
Stay too long in the world of metaphors and backasswards begins to look
normal.
 
[Case]
I looked really hard for the word cause in the paragraph above. Help me out
here I can't find it.
 
[Kevin]
You can't find it be_cause_ it's not there (in the second paragraph above).
But
it (the word "cause") is in the third paragraph above (mine) and in the
paragraph immediately preceding this one (yours).  I won't speak for your
instance of the word but the word appears in my paragraph be_cause_ I did
something.  I pressed the keys c, a, u, s and e and the word "cause" appeard
on my monitor.  Pressing the keys was the cause.  The word appearing on
the monitor was the effect.
 
How did your instance of the word get there?
