    That's not the butterfly effect! That's just plain old cause and effect! Now, if you'd been randomly responsible for starting the corporation war I could see where they'd be coming from...

    You're right Horse. They've misunderstood Chaos Theory. With that example, at the very least.

    Awesome trailer... but it has indeed nothing to do with Butterfly Effect.

    "Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system."

    Or, like when Dr Malcolm placed a drop of water on Ellie Sattler's hand in Jurrasic Park ;)

    Causality is the result of any one of those possibilities though i guess.
