Do you understand that a scientific experiment needs to be able (at some predetermined level of probability- often 5%) to exclude the conclusion that the outcome was just a coincidence.If you don't believe in coincidence you can't do that (How would you exclude a thing you didn't believe in) and you can not do science.Were you not aware of that?
You have a twisted logic. Coincidences doesn't exist unless you believe in pink unicorns or that Trump is actually a coincidence. What I believe is in causality and correlation, not magic, like the myth of yours that geoengineering doesn't exist.

So if I flip a coin twice and get two heads in a row, that's not a coincidence explainable by math but somehow an event with some hidden, profound meaning?
A probability is not a coincidence. You cannot win the lottery unless you actually buy a ticket. That's causality.

Why "simulate" a nuke over NYC? We all know that a real nuke would produces massive destruction and very few survivors...

Proud Prophet was a simulation of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Why bother simulating that? Surely that exercise was a sign that nuclear war was secretly being planned by the "powers-that-be" and was imminently coming! Oh wait, that was back in 1983... which was 34 years ago. They sure are taking their sweet time getting that war started, aren't they?
