Connecting the dots is an impossible task

The Pakistani Taliban boast of involvement in the Times Square plot had been discounted in mainstream media. New York’s Democratic Senator Charles Schumer suggested, early on, “The odds are quite high that this was a lone wolf.” The Obama administration’s homeland security czarina, Janet Napolitano, downplayed the incident as a “one-off,” whatever that means.

Or 9/11, London, Madrid, Bali, etc, etc. They were all one-off events. Like individual vertices in a graph: they occur with multiplicity 1--duhhh. And no two vertices ever get connected--it's a theorem.
