At last, it reaches the critical point where gravitational attraction between its gas particles is greater than their tendency to fly apart. Then the great cloud collapses, forming a galaxy or a cluster of galaxies, each of which contains billions of stars. The galaxies, being immersed in the hot gas, continue to move away from one another. But within their narrow confines, gravitation reigns as supreme as it does on the little planets revolving around their stars...

If offenders had the same "cluster of factors" as were found among the SPT delinquents, the test would be validated. The process was then to be reversed--the test applied to six year olds to see if predictions of delinquency actually came true...
