    I’m reminded of Sol’s rebuke to Max in “Pi”:

    “You want to find the number 216 in the world, you will be able to find it everywhere. 216 steps from a mere street corner to your front door. 216 seconds you spend riding on the elevator. When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.”

    And:

    “As soon as you discard scientific rigor, you’re no longer a mathematician, you’re a numerologist.”

    “You decide” normally means someone is going to spout bullshit for 15 minutes and doesn’t want the responsibility of backing it up.
