A 94 year old man comes to his physician complaining of abdominal pain. A close exam reveals nothing. The physician is reassuring but explains he worries about the patient's age and suggests some x-rays.
The patient thinks x-rays are too much trouble. He says he will stop doing sit-ups for a while and see if that helps. When the physician asks how many sit-ups he does, the patient tells him he does two sets of two hundred every day.
Moral: The context of a problem often explains a lot.
