And if I told you that scientists have come up with a computer program 
that can accurately estimate a person's intelligence from an analysis of 
their DNA, you'd call BS. Even though you don't have a shred of proof 
that it's not true, and there's no logical reason why it's impossible. 
You wouldn't believe it.

And that's why when somebody says "one time I did <insert very unlikely 
thing here>", people tend not to believe it.
