Another Hand

In an Economics class...


Professor: What assumption is used to analyze the relationship between two variables while the other factors are held unchanged?


Mister smart guy stood up.


Smart Guy: Ceterus Paribus.


Professor: Right. 


Smart guy sat back down.


Professor: Why do you think it is an essential part to the predictive purpose of scientific inquiry?


Nobody dared to answer.


Professor: Anyone?


Smart guy raised his hand.


Professor: Another hand, please.


Smart guy raised his other hand.
