*The Missing Goat, "Goat no 3"...

 

It all started one lazy Sunday afternoon  in a small town near Toronto in Canada. Two school-going friends had a crazy idea. They rounded up three goats from the neighborhood and painted the numbers 1, 2 and 4 on their sides. That night they let the goats loose inside their school building. The next morning, when the authorities entered the school, they could smell something was wrong. They soon saw goat droppings on the stairs and near the entrance and realized that some goats had entered the building.

 

A search was immediately launched and very soon, the three goats were found. But the authorities were worried, where was goat No. 3? They spent the rest of the day looking for goat No.3. The school declared classes off for the students for the rest of the day. The teachers, helpers, guards, canteen staffs, boys were all busy looking for the goat No. 3, which, of course, was never found. Simply because it did not exist.

 

Those among us who in spite of having a good life are always feeling a "lack of fulfilment" are actually looking for the elusive, missing, non-existent Goat No.3. Whatever the area of complaint or dissatisfaction, relationship, job-satisfaction, finance, achievements,  

 

Let's Stop worrying about goat No.3 n enjoy the life...Life would be so much

happier without the worries. And don't let the non existent imaginary goat number 3 waste your time and happiness. Enjoy life with what you have.

What is this *Zohnerism*?

 

 *Zohnerism* -  is all about twisting of simple facts to confuse people!

To know more about it, please read this:

 

In 1997, 14 year old Nathan Zohner presented his science fair project to his classmates, seeking to ban a highly toxic chemical from its everyday use.

 

The chemical in question? Dihydrogen monoxide.

 

Throughout his presentation, Zohner provided his audience scientifically correct evidence as to why this chemical should be banned.

 

He explained that dihydrogen monoxide:

 

--Causes severe burns while it’s in gas form.

--Corrodes and rusts metal.

--Kills countless amounts of people annually.

--Is commonly found in tumors, acid rain etc.

--Causes excessive urination and bloating if consumed.

--Zohner also noted that the chemical is able to kill you if you depend on it and then experience an extended withdrawal.

 

He then asked his classmates if they actually wanted to ban dihydrogen monoxide. And so, 43 out of the 50 children present voted to ban this clearly toxic chemical. However… this chemical isn’t typically considered toxic at all.

 

In fact, dihydrogen monoxide is simply H2O, which is nothing but water.

 

Nathan Zohner’s experiment wasn’t a legitimate attempt to ban water, but instead an experiment to get a representation of how gullible people can really be. Also, all of the points that Zohner used to convey his point were 100% factually correct; he just skewed all of the information in his favour by omitting certain facts.

 

In recognition of his experiment, journalist James K. Glassman coined the term "Zohnerism" to refer to "the use of a true fact to lead a scientifically and mathematically ignorant public to a false conclusion".

 

And this occurs a lot more often than you think, especially when politicians, conspiracy theorists, etc., use proven facts to persuade people into believing false claims.

 

The fact that people can mislead, and be misled so easily, is highly unsettling.
