There was a scientist doing an experiment with a frog

He placed the frog on the exam table and said, "Jump frog" then recorded; with four legs the frog jumps 8 feet'

The scientist removed one leg and said, "Jump frog" and recorded; 'with three legs frog jumps 6 feet'

He removed another leg and said, "Jump frog" then recorded,' with two legs frog jumps 4 feet'

The scientist removed another leg and said, "Jump frog"  and recorded 'with one leg frog jumps 2 feet'

He removed the fourth leg and said, "Jump frog" the frog did
not move

The scientist repeated "Jump frog" the frog did not move

He loudly commanded "Jump frog!" and the frog did not move

The scientist recorded; 'when fourth leg removed frog becomes deaf!'

The moral of the story: It's all in how you interpret the data.
