  Although I agree with the statement, i'm curious to know.
  How does someone analize observations that make no sense?
  How do you distinguish between the events that make no sense and the ones
  that should not be ignored?

Welcome back, Gordon, and congratulations on your reinforced rationality.  Popper contributed some valuable understandings.

As to the second part of your statement, I would suggest that you certainly should *not* ignore that which appears to make no sense, as those observations are hints of potential for growth. In the bigger picture all the pieces must fit, and paradox is always a case of insufficient context.
