A short lesson in Logic (brought to you by some chick):

'A fallacy of Weak Inference: "Post Hoc..." or "Hasty Generalization":
This fallacy occurs when one offers a generalization based on too few
examples or on examples that mislead about some larger population. This
is a weak inference-- however, even strong generalizations can easily be
falsified by a counter example' 

A-hem.  Shame on you.
A computer minded person must first and foremost be a logical person.
