Logic may break down .......

Programming is a nice hobby because it trains the mind to think logically.

Chess is a nicer game because it teaches tactics and strategy at the same time.

Sometimes we need to apply some logic before we move to the artistic realm.

I happen to chance upon a Xuan Kong Da Gua date selection course promotion. One brief case study was presented to show the pow wow of Xuan Kong Da Gua date selection.

In summary,

'Two houses have the exact same Facing Direction and same Structure. Feng Shui reading for the both is good in Period 8, anyone who stay in these house will enjoy good fortune and prosperous luck. The owners are however advised by their respective Feng Shui master to move in at a very different timing and season.'

The year was 2009. One group (single parent) moved during summer and the other (businessman) autumn. The latter group prospered while the first group experienced a series of misfortune.

This is the question and conclusion according to the 'marketer' of the course probably not the course instructor.

Is it because different people have different luck? Result is different depending on individual? Or is it that one has done something wrong his or her previous life?

The Truth & Answer:
Difference in the time-factor (Good and Bad Move-in date)

Method of Date Selection:
House A: - Other date selection method
House B: - Traditional XKDG Date selection

To be fair, we have incomplete information at this time but let us examine the claim.

Commentaries

1. Is it premature to conclude the luck plays no important factor? From from the start, this comparison is flawed because of the different Bazi, gender and occupation of the owners. Why pit a businessman against a white collar worker?
   
2. If the 'summer' group has better luck, she will probably hired someone who used another preferred date selection.
3. The 'other' date selection was not mentioned.
4. No further examples were given after 2009 to showcase the pow wow of Xuan Kong Da Gua date selection.
   

A wicked question could be posed, what about Bill Gates? He probably scoff at Xuan Kong Da Gua date selection as gibberish but if he used his billions to back his scoff, what will you do?

And finally, in a stock market bull run, even a monkey has a good chance of punting the correct stocks. It is during a bear run that the professionals revealed themselves.
