RE: Not being a statistic



Not a waste of bandwith, it is a good illustration of stats application. I use myself a slightly different quote for training purposes (so rad safety related !!!): Statistics are like a bikini; it is what is hidden that is interesting...
 
Sorry, it is less politically correct but also true....
 
No disrespect intended...

As a colleague of mine -- an economist, as it happens -- once said:  "Statistics are like a bikini; they show what you want to show and hide what you want to hide."

Just a little waste of bandwidth
