*ugh* statistics rule and makes everybody drool.
Yeah.
Such a useful tool that people forget is a tool.
I considered a theme a few weeks back that would be fun to
explore. "POINTS WITH PERSONALITY". Instead of dimensionless yet
somehow spherical nothings with woo-woo innards, let's give them
better personalities.
After all, statistically, I'm a number. But I got personality.
Count me up at your leisure, but *my* number is gonna have
character. Go ahead and cancel me out, statistical analysis
tongue emoticon
It always irks me when a tool becomes "the thing". And I don't
have to get all Buddhist about it either. Numbers are useful
things for us to use, but when that yahoo wrote "The Universe
*is* Mathematics" and I find my friends falling for it hook line
and sinker... I just wanna yank their shirts over their heads
and go, "What's the statistical probability of that? Hm? Get
real."
