I have ascertained that over 98.2% of convicted criminals have eaten hamburgers prior to their criminal careers. The figure for interface designers is 96.5%, due to the relatively high prevalence of vegetarians. However, it is clear that the closeness of those two figures is not due to chance, and therefore the probability that an interface designer is a criminal is 0.948, and that this is caused by consuming hamburgers at an early age. Television watching and smoking pot do equally well as predictors of antisocial behavior. Therefore eliminating interface designers will lower the cost to society of maintaining prisons.
