And while I'm on that; how well do you have to know someone to be able to say that you know them? I think Chris Rock put it best when he said "When you meet someone for the first time, your not meeting them..........Your meeting their 'representitive'". And that shit is so true. I mean, you cant just talk to someone for half an hour, or make small talk while your at work with someone and really say "I know that person"... Cause thats like playing one game of baseball when you were 15 then saying to someone now a days "I play baseball"..

What it implies can be seen in different ways.
Prolly I'm thinking too far into the technicalitys of this.. And I can see how its feasable. But I just dont view the world from such a statistical standpoint as that. So this theory to me just seems like pointless bullshit..

You can say all day that you know george bush from a 3 degree seperation. But when it all boils down to it. In reality you dont ACTUALLY know him.. And the person thats talked to him, probably doesent REALLY know him on any kind of personal level as opposed to a formal work related level.

This is why I think this theory is wrong.
