"Did your mommy help you with that?" Yes, she did, she told me to go learn about things.

Ask YOUR mommy to allow you spend some extra time on the computer tonight and try an experiment with your picture:
There are two colors, so you'd expect a relatively equal number of red or white GNP's touching a given GNP.
So, go through your pic (you supplied it, so it can't have been manipulated, right? Plus, this seems important to you) and count how many total pink and how many total white, and for each GNP count how many red and how many white GNP's are touching it.
Do this for every GNP and see what your stats show.
I think you are assuming clustering beyond random fluctuation. I bet you'll see a plot that ends up looking like a normal distribution curve.
Ask your mommy to help you with it if it seems too hard or conflicts with your Sheldrake religion.
Once you become a more discerning person, you can then do the same trick with the pic of the Red Hots and check the groupings of the subtypes of Red Hots in that pic. (Hint, there are more than two subtypes, see if you can figure it out.)

I gather you are secretly in love with Sheldrake. nt - geoffkait 03:56:59 05/06/11 (6)

- Your acknowledgement of your erroneous hypothesis is noted. - Enophile 09:37:14 05/06/11 (5)
  There are free online random grid programs you can play with to test you flawed hypothesis, as well.
  
  Good old math trumps Sheldrake's religion once again.
  
  Tell Shelie to give it a go with: "when flipping coins, the results rarely turn out heads, tails, heads, tails.....there are many groupings! It's an inexplicable magical thing no one could conceive of! There must be some mystical morphic resonance at work!"
  - The unscientific minded often refer to science as religion. - geoffkait 11:38:28 05/06/11 (4)
    Why not come right out and declare that Sheldrake is the Antichrist? How do you like being the poster boy for trolls who cannot be educated? BTW don't worry about answering the questions, they're rhetorical.
    - The religious minded often refer to science dismissively - it's part of the requirement of their faith. - Enophile 11:44:47 05/06/11 (3)
      Dude, you lost.
      I bet you are so certain in your faith, you refused to do the experiment that proves you wrong with your own picture.
      Now that's some closed mindedness.
      Give it go, spend a few minutes thinking instead of worshipping.
      I'll bet anyone here geoffie is incapable of doing it. No intellectrual curiosity in his marrow.
      Time to start trolling your phone book or pen in the freezer tripe, this one of yours has been busted.
      Run along now, start saving up for an actual Hi Fi rig. Did you get one yet?
      Can't even tell the Red Hots apart, can ya?
      Added: I do understand that your faith may forbid actually investigating what you are told. Wouldn't want any hypothesis testing ruining the "magic."
      
      LOL!

        My condolences to your besotted liver.
        
        Full retreat from geoffie. - Enophile 14:39:12 05/06/11 (1)

        Call us back when you decide to actually get a Hi Fi.
        Speaking of uneven distribution, why is so many unblinking unthinking idiots cluster around morphic resonance?
        :D
        Well, so much for Good N' Plenty, your myth was busted.
        geoffie, maybe go read about the art of debunkery and go after the statistics proving your clumping fallacy incorrect! You skeptics never have to leave mom's apartment!
