My cat frequently leads me to the counter by the treats and whines.
I can sit here in my office and think, "I will give the cat a treat no
matter what," before I go downstairs. If I go to give him a treat and
he runs in front of me and whines before I do, it doesn't matter to my
cat that there is a perfectly logical alternative reason why he got a
treat. The lesson that is reinforced for him is, "I whine, I get treats".
I've seen plenty of perfectly logical alternative explanations to the
outcome of the Spanish elections. I don't think any of them will dissuade
terrorists from learning the lesson, "I can change the election if I blow
stuff up."
