（单词翻译）

The Office - Groundbreaking Research (C0068)
A: We’ve been over this a thousand times. The data is irrefutable! Look, we’ve done extensive research,built studies, and read the literature, and there is conclusive1 evidence to support my theory!

B: Horowitz, I beg to differ. Even in your most recent study, the investigative approach was flawed! You know as well as I do that the collection of data was not systematic2, and there is a large margin3 of error. To draw a definitive4 onclusion based on that data would be misleading

A: That is preposterous5!
B: You are trying to single-handedly solve one of the world’s greatest mysteries, and yet you are oblivious6 to the fact that you are wrong!

A: I am not wrong! The chicken came first!
B: No! The egg came first
