Now suppose I obtain the following measurements $(t_i, V_i)$ in hours and liters, respectively: $$(0,1.0), (1,0.9), (2,0.8), (3,0.7), (4,0.6), (5,0.5).$$ This is quite obviously perfectly correlated (and hypothetical) data. But if I were to sort the time and the volume measurements, I would get $$(0,0.5), (1,0.6), (2,0.7), (3,0.8), (4,0.9), (5,1.0).$$ And the conclusion from this sorted data set is that as time increases, the volume of water increases, and moreover, that starting from 1 liter of water, you would get after 5 hours of waiting, more than 1 liter of water. Isn't that remarkable? Not only is the conclusion opposite of what the original data said, it also suggests we have discovered new physics!
