Director of Squirrel Squared, where I fix software development teams that aren't working at their best - delivering poorly or not at all, lacking leadership, or struggling to recruit. It typically takes me two months to address these issues and get the team on track to deliver on company goals. By the time I finish, I've recruited or trained a high-performing tech leader and a skilled team that's ready to keep delivering. More at http://douglassquirrel.com .

I just thought of another way to restate. Suppose you give me any finite set of points, any finite set at all, and you also tell me that when the 9 year old draws any line through any two of them, she will always hit a third. Then I can immediately conclude all the points lie on a single line, that is, that any line the 9 year old draws will hit all the points.

Well put. A similar way to say it: ask the 9 year old to draw ALL of the possible lines connecting two points in the set — of course this is possible, just might take awhile. The theorem says that at least one of the lines drawn must hit ONLY the two points the 9 year old used when drawing that particular line, not any others.
