There could be 50 reasons he responded the way he did, many of which are perfectly reasonable. My opinion is that you should always assume the most respectful interpretation of a person's response/words/actions/etc. until you have evidence to the contrary.

Logic by association, "just so" stories... Same old, same old... Why not DJL standing for Daniel Jay-Lewis? And why not a different lettering?, like:

You learned something about him. Absorb it and don't do it again with him. Being family does not automatically mean one will receive honesty. C'est la vie.

The plural of “anecdote” is not “evidence” What you’ve presented is confirmation bias - you notice the coincidences, and ignore whatever doesn’t fit the pattern.

In my version of backerupper, when you click the clone button, it offers a system clone, a disk clone, or a partition clone. However, the system clone is only available on the "pro" version, which means the paid version. I find the best and easiest cloning is to a spare disk. Disks are cheap and reliable S/H on ebay these days, I've never had a dud, and you get a refund for dud items anyway. If you use partition assistant, you could create a separate partition on the existing disk, and clone the OS partition to that. I think you can do that in backerupper too.

I have been looking at the quantum spin of an Electron. As you can see, there are Three lines coming out of the box. Just like how there are three sets of lines in the 4D hypersphere diagram. Good result (EDIT: Upon closer inspection, only some yellow dots on the previous 4D Hypersphere diagram, had a yellow dot intersecting all Three lines) I have been probing the Quantum Entanglement phenomenon. With the 4D object interpretation in mind. Something I noticed is that the Entanglement seems to only be acknowledged when observed. Perfect for the 'Observing causes it to cast a 3D shadow'. More work needed but a good result so far. All remaining Team members on the Team have a mutual Team spirit.
