Random thought of the day: Impossible Possibility

The dog days of summer are here, but almost over.  I suspect we will post infrequently these next couple of weeks as we survive/enjoy our transition to the 2010-11 academic year.  The thing that most excites me about fall is the start of the English Premier League Football (soccer) season, so I've been reading more about player transfers and transfer rumors than infection prevention studies.  I came across an entertaining Brian Phillips article in Slate that sums up the player transfer period quite well.  I especially enjoyed this quote:

"A really good transfer rumor doesn't have to be untrue. It just has to make claims that it can't support, allowing us to fill the gaps with a fizzy sense of impossible possibility."

I thought this quote could be rephrased or recycled for use in infection prevention articles/editorials or in any other important area of life.  For instance, if you substitute "infection prevention intervention study" in for "transfer rumor", you get:

"A really good infection prevention intervention study doesn't have to be untrue. It just has to make claims that it can't support, allowing us to fill the gaps with a fizzy sense of impossible possibility."

You could also substitute phrases like "research grant hypothesis" or "economic analysis" in the same place.  For some reason, this just makes me happy, which these days can sometimes be an impossible possibility.

Róbson de Souza (Brazil), more commonly known as Robinho, is a Brazilian footballer who currently plays as a striker for Brazilian Série A club Santos on loan from Premier League side Manchester City. He is also a member of the Brazilian national team.

Robinho was personally picked by Brazil legend Pelé as his heir apparent at only 15 years of age[3] and went on to lead Santos to their first Campeonato Brasileiro title since Pelé himself played for the same legendary Brazilian club.[4] Since then he has won another title with Santos and two more with Real Madrid as well. With Brazil, Robinho has one Copa América title and two Confederations Cups with Brazil.
